Duty of Civil Disobedience
I really enjoyed this reading. It goes very well with my personal beliefs on the roles of citizens and the government. The government, while it holds power to legislate, etc., is not above the citizens of this nation. The government and the people in it are public servants to the electorate and sometimes it is this basic truth that gets forgotten sometimes. It is up to "We the People" to stand up at times and remind the government that they serve at our discretion.

I agree with the statement, the government is not above the citizens in America.
