What is the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence?

The common difference between successive terms in the sequence is:

                                          6

We know that for any arithmetic sequence of the type:

with the common difference d such that the common difference is given by:

Here the arithmetic sequence is given by:

                   2 , 8 , 14 , 20 , 26

   Hence, the common difference is given by:

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.
