Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a government (or any other authority). By some definitions,[specify] civil disobedience has to be nonviolent to be called "civil". Hence, civil disobedience is sometimes equated with peaceful protests or nonviolent resistance

• It is a type of political engagement that indicates a deliberate decision to disobey an ostensibly moral law and bear the consequences.
• The act is an important aspect of a democratic society since it is one of the driving forces that allows people to use their right to free speech and speak out against an unjust government and its laws.
• It has been used by numerous individuals in many nations, who have virtually always succeeded in achieving their aims peacefully. It enabled them to topple unjust laws, critical for a democracy.
