Civil disobedience is the active refusal to follow specific rules, laws, or demands of the government. Henry David Thoreau outlined his refusal to pay taxes as an act of protest against slavery and against the Mexican-American War in his 1848 essay Civil Disobedience. His writings were a significant influence on many world leaders, including Indian independence leader Mohandas Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr., who made civil disobedience a hallmark of the American Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. In recent years, civil disobedience has been invoked by protesters in their defiance of restrictions on demonstrations surrounding World Trade Organization meetings.
