On the Duty of Civil Disobedience (Thoreau)

English
1 answer:

Answer:

a very interesting perspective.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau has a very interesting perspective on the effectiveness of voting. He says that most people vote for the right cause because they feel it is the right thing to do. These people are not actually concerned if their votes would prevail but they do it for the sake of doing the right thing.

Thoreau says that mere voting and leaving the rest to the majority is not an effective vote. Through the lines "Its obligation, therefore, never exceeds that of expediency. Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it.", he implies that voting can never be effective if one is not affected by it directly.

Also by lines like "Only his vote can hasten the abolition of slavery who asserts his own freedom by his vote.", Thoreau says that votes can effective when the voters who are voting for a cause are directly affected by it.
