violent uprising against authority
A planned and usually violent action by a group of people who try to take power from the government or those in control.
Vzorec užití:
an insurrection against [authority/government]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "insurrection" with "resurrection"; "insurrection" is about violent political uprising, while "resurrection" is about coming back to life. Another mistake is using "insurrection" for any protest; it should involve an attempt to overthrow or violently challenge authority, not just a demonstration or march.
