Power rests in the hands of the president and a small group of advisors. In court, a defendant?s poverty affects hearing, right to bail and the quality of his counsel.

28d. Harriet Beecher Stowe — Uncle Tom's Cabin Kim Wells, Domestic Goddesses Eliza is forced to flee dogs and slave-catchers in Uncle Tom's Cabin."So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." This was Abraham Lincoln's reported greeting to Harriet Beecher Stowe when he met her ten years after her book Uncle Tom's Cabin was published. Although the President may have been exaggerating a bit, few novels in American history have grabbed the public spotlight and caused as great an uproar as Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Henry David Thoreau

Civil Disobedience Summary: Thoreau begins by arguing that government rarely proves itself useful and that it derives its power from the majority because they are the strongest group, not because they are the most correct. He believes that people's first obligation is to do what they believe is right and not to follow the law dictated by the majority. Basically, person is not obligated to devote his life to eliminating evils, but she or he is obligated not to participate in such evils. This includes not being a member of an unjust government. Thoreau argues that the united states fits his criteria for an unjust government, of slavery and its practice of aggressive war [the Mexican war].
