Résumé :

Human history has often witnessed acts of rebellion, against a given power or an authority, in order to conquer larger spaces of liberty. In the context of the United States, the colonies’ rebellion took the form of a revolution in the course of the fight for independence. In his essay On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, the writer and philosopher Henry David Thoreau will try to develop the idea of the ethics of rebellion, that is, an act that results in the citizen’s participation in the political construction of his country for the birth of a strong civil society.
