insurrection

Insurrection is a situation where a group of people rises up against an established authority, typically a government, with the intention of overthrowing it or challenging its power. This act can involve protests, violence, or armed conflict. Insurrections often stem from grievances such as political oppression, economic hardship, or social injustice. While some may view these uprisings as legitimate expressions of dissent, others see them as threats to stability and order. Ultimately, insurrection reflects a significant conflict between a segment of the population and the governing body.
