Answer 2

treason.

----------------------

This is normally a crime called treason, but only if it is being done by an individual or a small group.

If enough people are taking part, then the crime ceases to be treason and becomes a revolution, civil ware or popular uprising. It all depends on how much general support there is for the force acting against the government.

The international community will tolerate a country executing small numbers of traitors (people who commit treason) but it frowns on large scale executions. In such cases the government risks being charged with crimes against humanity.

You can change a government legitimately using an election, and in general elections do release the tensions that build up and cause revolutions and wars.
