civil Disobedience , title original Civil Disobedience is a test of Henry David Thoreau published in 1849. H.D. Thoreau written on the topic of civil disobedience, while basing itself on its personal experience.

In July 1846, Thoreau was imprisoned, voluntarily not having paid a tax with the American state, because it reproached him for supporting the slavery which reigned then in the South and for carrying out a war against the Mexico. It was glad to be imprisoned for this act posed. It spent only one night in prison, because its entourage paid the guarantee, which made it furious.

With the Speech of the voluntary constraint of Etienne of Boétie, civil disobedience is a precursory work of the concept of the civil Désobéissance.
