Explanation:
<span> Athens moved from being ruled by a king to being ruled by a small number of wealthy, land-owning aristocrats. Aristotle’s Constitution of the Athenians, a description of Athenian government, says that the status of “King” became a political office, one of three “Rulers” or “Archons” under the new system, and Athens came to be governed by the King Archon, the War-Lord, and the Archon. “Appointment to the supreme offices of state went by birth and wealth; and they were held at first for life, and afterwards for a term of ten years.” Later, six other Archons were added to the role. These Nine Archons ruled the Athenians, along with the Council of the Areopagus, which consisted of all former Archons, serving on this board for life.<span>

Answer:
Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau.
Explanation:
Henry David Thoreau's essay "Civil Disobedience" was a result of his arrest after he refused to pay the toll tax of $1. This refusal was his way of protesting against the Mexican war and the practice of slavery which resulted in his arrest. The experience of being in prison led him to write about it in his essay where he stressed upon the importance of asserting one's rights even if it means going against the law, if one views the laws as unjust. With this belief, he protested against the practice of slavery and the war, for he believed that they are discriminatory against a particular race. And in practice of this protest, he refused to pay the toll tax fee that funds the war. This arrest eventually led to the production of this literary work.
