Thoreau: "Resistance to Civil Government"

          Henry David Thoreau believes that the government is no longer expressing the will of the people, but it has become "abused and perverted". He says that "the government is best which governs least". This means that the best government would be a government that barley even has to govern. I fact he says that the government has been the most useful when it just stood aside. He goes on to talk about many accomplishments in the country, and how they weren't really caused by the government, but by the people. Thoreau says that the government listens to the majority, which sometimes shouldn't always be the cause because in some instances the government should listen to the smarter and more thoughtful group. Another point he makes is that too much law can cause people to do a lot of stupid things. Thoreau's conclusion is hat we should avoid government all together and it is our duty to rebel.
          Thoreau writes all these things because he wants to stop slavery and the Mexican War. I think that he has a very strong claim with very supportive reasons. The back up for his claim are very persuasive because they seem appealing to men. However some would rebuttal that although there is room for improvement, the government is important to keep the structure and order in the United States. I think that all of his reasons are very logical and for a good cause (ending war and slavery), however we need a government to stabilize the country.

Question: What exactly would he want in place of a government to keep order?
