In the ministers black veil hawthorne uses the townspeople to symbolize the faults he sees in many people. cite three faults symbolized by the townspeople that hawthorne highlights in the story

Hooper's veil is a clear sign that he is trying to make up for, or atone for, his sin.  Hooper seems to imply that the veil is a symbol for all sin, or for the idea that we sin, itself.  It is not just a sin or two of one person; all of humanity is a sinner.  Hooper is a sinner too; he wants to show that he is not prideful, but that he is hiding his face.  Now, in all reality, he is more visible due to the black veil.  Did Hooper wear the veil to express his guilt at committing adultry? Did Hooper wear the veil to let others know that we are all sinners and that we cannot judge others - or we will be judged?

The veil may in be a symbol of a shadow that man tries to hide his sins behind, and as he quotes, "the saddest of all prisons is a person's own heart".  You may be able to hide all the sin from others, but you cannot ever hide it from yourself.  He saw himself in a mirror and did not like what he saw.

Explanation:

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
