Which of these does henry david thoreau criticize in "resistance to civil government"? a. the civil war b. the industrial revolution c. women's rights d. taxes

D. Taxes

Hope this helps! :)

       The right answer would be D. taxes.

       Henry Thoreau advocates that when you find that your government is using your  tax money to finance something unjust (in his case, the Mexican-American war) or is prolonging an unjust situation (such  as the slavery), the more just thing to do is to stop paying taxes, in protest,  and face the legal consequences.

      He states that if every person who is against war or slavery stopped paying his taxes eventually would bring a change on the laws, inciting the politicians on  passing laws that favored they way of thinking.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
