In the context of this excerpt from “Civil Disobedience” by Henry Thoreau, what does the word posterity mean?
This American government—what is it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will. It is a sort of wooden gun to the people themselves.
being remedied
a flawed government
future generations
a type of pest or vermin
a stubborn person

The answer is C: Future Generations. The definition of the word "posterity" is: "All future generations of people." Therefore, it just makes sense :)
