Problem
Civil disobedience, protests, and democracy: What role does civil disobedience (i.e., protests) play in a democracy? Which model of democracy fits best to support the right to protest? If civil disobedience is a way for publics to express their opinions, what policy(ies) should governments put in place (if any)? Consider, for example, recent examples of the Black Lives Matter protests, the Defund the Police, Indigenous rights actions (e.g., around land, clean water, treaties, fishing, etc.), or another similar protest movement.
