In "civil disobedience," what does thoreau suggest the townspeople have to do before they can be as free as he is? move to another state be imprisoned stop paying taxes change their beliefs

In "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau suggests the townspeople to change their beliefs before so as to be as free as he is.

Henry David Thoreau's argument in the “Civil Disobedience” was that the citizens of a nation need to disobey the laws implemented by the state if the laws are unjust. He speaks about his experience when he protested against slavery and the Mexican War by refusing to pay taxes. He adds that there are two types of laws, one is made by God and the other by the people. The laws made by God is about humanity and is higher than the laws made by men. He adds that if the laws made by men prove to be unjust and are against humanity then the people should have the right to disobey them.
