insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and

Syn: Insurrection, Sedition, Revolt, Rebellion,

the laws. Insurrection is a rising of individuals to
prevent the execution of law by force of arms. Revolt
is a casting off the authority of a government, with a
view to put it down by force, or to substitute one
ruler for another. Rebellion is an extended
insurrection and revolt. Mutiny is an insurrection on
a small scale, as a mutiny of a regiment, or of a
ship's crew.
[1913 Webster]

In soothing them, we nourish 'gainst our senate
The cockle of rebellion, insolence, sedition.
--Shak.

Be no memorial, blotted out and razed
By their rebellion from the books of life.
