American writer Henry David Thoreau wrote that if a law “requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law.” What idea is Thoreau supporting?

This question came up on my G.E.D. practice test and I have no idea what it means... someone help!!

Here's an article to read. It's very interesting. Read it several times and I hope it helps you out.

Don't stress. Just read it to learn about the man, and start writing your thoughts down.

Good for you for taking you G.E.D and I wish you the best of luck.
