Thoreau

1.       A government that commands my respect will listen to what I have to say and act on those opinions.

2.       Thoreau accepts that the less government the better.  The government butts out of the affairs of its citizens

3.       He doesn’t seem to think America will achieve this though due to the fact that that he said that “it will split”, but maybe without the violence it may happen I guess

4.       Speak out as a citizen and to make a better government than the existing one. It is kind of like if you voice your opinion that will be a step in the right direction and I think he does present a pretty good argument. He supports his arguments with strong statements

5.       Perhaps the catastrophe that could happen when the government gives some slack, some people will take it too for or the country will wreak havoc on itself from the inside out. The dangers of anarchy are possible. The chaos of non-regulations could cause hazards to the people, things like that
