Sedition

Sedition refers to actions or speech that incite rebellion or conflict against a government or authority. It involves encouraging others to undermine, overthrow, or resist the government, often through protests, writings, or speeches. In legal terms, sedition is considered a crime against the state because it threatens public order and the stability of government. Laws against sedition aim to protect national security and uphold the rule of law, but they can also raise concerns about free speech and dissent. The interpretation and enforcement can vary by country and context.
