Select the correct text in the passage.
Which two sentences in this excerpt from "Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau support the transcendentalist idea that the individual is
more important than government or society?
This American
n government - what is it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each
instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man: for a single man can bend it to his will. It is a sort of
wooden gun to the people themselves...
But a government in which the majority rule in all cases cannot be based on justice, even as far as men understand it. Can there not be a
government which majorities do not virtually decide right and wrong, but conscience? - In which majorities decide only those questions to
which the rule of expediency is applicable? Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree. resign his conscience to the legislation?
Why has every man a conscience, then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for
the law, so much as for the right. The or obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right. It is truly enough said
that a corporation has no conscience: but a corporation of conscientious men is a corporation with a conscience.

Freedoms" speech. i have called for personal sacrifice. i am assured of the willingness of almost all americans to respond to that call. a part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. in my budget message i shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today. no person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation. what argument is roosevelt supporting with his appeal to logic in the underlined section of the excerpt? if americans are willing to trust roosevelt, it only makes sense that he will ensure that the tax money is well managed. if americans are willing to make a personal sacrifice, it only makes sense that they will be seen as both noble and patriotic. if americans feel it is right to enter the war, it only makes sense that they will have to pay more in taxes to cover the costs. if americans feel it is right to pay more taxes, it only makes sense that they should also agree it is right to enter the war.
