How is Emerson’s distrust of institutions and group decisions shown in his written works and in his life choices?

Give specific examples. In quoting from the essays, do not use the examples that your classmates have used, if at all possible. Since Emerson says the same thing multiple ways, you should be able to find additional examples.
