Which two sentences in this excerpt from "civil disobedience" by henry david thoreau support the transcendentalist idea that the individual is more important than government or society?

For this question I chose the last sentence where it says "I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. "

I chose "It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will."

and "I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right."

do you have more to the question?
