Select the correct text in the passage, Which sentence in this excerpt from Henry David Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" implicitly argues that people need to think Independently and
question authority?
I believe that the State will soon be able to take all my work of this sort out of my hands and then I shall be no better a patriot than my fellow
countrymen. Seen from a lower point of view, the Constitution, with all its faults is very good the law and the courts are very respectable, even
this State and this American government are, in many respects, very admirable and rare things to be thankful for, such as a great many have
described them; but seen from a point of view a little higher, they are what I have described them seen from a higher stilt and the highest who
shall say what they are, or that they are worth looking at or thinking of at all?
However, the government does not concern me much and I shall bestow the fewest possible thoughts on it. It is not many moments that I live
under a government, even in this world. If a man is thought-free, fancy. free, imagination-free, that which is not never for a long time appearing
to be to him, unwise rulers or reformers cannot fatally interrupt him.
