  • Q5

    How does Thoreau view voting?

    Voting solves the issues that are presented in the country at the time.

    Voting is not discussed in the Thoreau's novel. 

    None of the above.

    Voting is pointless if those who are affected by certain laws cannot vote for their rights unless someone petitions for them (ex. Slaves cannot vote for their rights; therefore, abolition seemed impossible.)
