At what point and by what right does the conscience of a person carry more authority than the law according to Thoreau?
It was Henry David Thoreau's belief that conscience carries more authority than law at all times. He wrote this in On Civil Disobedience and was written at a time when slavery was still "legal" in the United States. Because of this he was able to make a powerful argument that conscience had more authority than law. He argued that the law was rarely just and that people who allow governments to subject their consciences to the law then become agents of injustice.
