5. In paragraph 20, Thoreau states that "any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one already." What does he mean by this? How does this statement support his thesis?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

According to the theory of Thoreau, everyone has a right to obey something or disobey something based on his understanding and this is above the laws of state, a person can go against them if they don’t feel right to him

In his thesis, he supports his statement by referring to abolitionism. He states that people suffering from slavery had no obligation of paying taxes to state, and they should not wait to come in majority to fight against abolitionism rather they should raise voices against it

Answer:

Explanation:

Thoreau believed that every person has the right to obey or disobey based on their understanding, this can even relate to laws if a person feels the moral obligation to do so. This claim supports his thesis because it shows how a single person can create a majority against or for a purpose and can do it all on their own if they feel the moral obligation to do so.
