Answer 2

gah sorry i though i put it uppp
Thoreau believed that a government that supported slavery was corrupt and immoral. He was also deeply suspicious of government. For these and other reasons, Thoreau refused to pay his poll tax for a number of years. The poll tax was a legal tax owed by every person. It was basically a tax on one's body. After not paying for years, he was at last arrested. He spent only one night in jail, however, as a relative paid the tax for him. He was reportedly furious that any tax was paid on his behalf.

Answer 3

Its okay lol I believe the answer would be C. I mean, he basically wouldn't do anything the government required or asked of him because he thought it was corrupt.
