organized rebellion against authority
An open fight or refusal to obey by a group of people, usually soldiers or workers, against the person in charge.
Brugsmønster:
a mutiny by [group] against [authority]
Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes use "mutiny" for one person who simply refuses a request. "Mutiny" almost always involves a group acting together against a clear leader or authority. For a single person, words like "disobedience" or "refusal" are more natural.
Synonymer
rebellion (Broader and more general; not limited to soldiers or workers under a specific authority like mutiny often is.)
Antonymer
obedience (Refers to following orders and accepting authority instead of rising up against it.)

rebel as a group against authority
To act together against a leader and refuse to obey them, usually in the army, on a ship, or at work.
Brugsmønster:
[group] mutinies against [authority]

Synonymer
revolt (Very close in meaning; slightly broader, while "mutiny" more strongly suggests a group under direct command, like soldiers or employees.)
Antonymer
comply (Means to do what is asked or ordered, the opposite of rebelling against authority.)
