Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi or Henry David Thoreau. Either of them is arguably the founder/inventor of civil disobedience.

The Gandhi-Irwin Pact. Under this pact, Gandhi stopped the civil disobedience protests, and Lord Irwin gave India a representative in Congress at the Round Table in London. Gandhi was an example for many people and events to come. Martin Luther King Jr. followed Gandhi's principal of peace for justice in the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Gandhi tells Lord Irwin that he dreads carrying out an act of civil disobedience to emphasize the deep commitment and seriousness of the tactic. Civil disobedience is a nonviolent tactic used to peacefully protest unjust laws or policies by refusing to comply with them. Gandhi believed in the power of nonviolent resistance to bring about social change.
