In the context of this excerpt from “civil disobedience” by henry thoreau, what does the word posterity mean? this american 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. being remedied a flawed government future generations a type of pest or vermin a stubborn person

C. future generations

Explanation:

The "word" posterity means "future generations" in the context of this excerpt. It talks of the American Government as a tradition to be passed on to future generations intact which, unfortunately, is not what really happens.

"Posterity" originated from Latin, "posterus", meaning "following". An example with the word would be:

"We shall preserve his unique artwork for posterity."
