Rebellion [agentive]

โ€น Back Next โ€บ
An individual or group, the Rebel, rejects the authority of the Current_leadership, and attempts to bring them out of power. The rebellion may, but need not be violent. Rather than expressing rebellion against the Current_leadership, the lexical units in this frame may appear with expressions describing the Current_order, the system of rule which the Rebels reject.

In 1641 there was a Catholic|reb rebellion against the Protestants of Ulster|curl, and English authority over the island was shaken.

How do they justify their|reb armed|mea insurgency?
