Read the passage from "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience,” by Henry David Thoreau.

Thoreau uses repetition of government to appeal to readers’ sense of patriotism before showing that patriotism is misguided.
Thoreau establishes logos by using reasoning to compare the objections to a standing army and to a standing government.
