When you protest, you object to something, you say that you disagree with it. There are many kinds of ways to do this: you can just say it, or if it's a more serious situation, you can join with other people to show your dislike of a certain thing. For example, in US history, some people protested against the British government-- they threw tea into the harbor to protest being taxed without being allowed to vote.

Sometimes, people protest by holding a march, or having a demonstration; they chant, carry signs, and let the government know they are upset about a certain issue. As long as they do this peacefully, it is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. There have been anti-war protests, for example. And in the civil rights era, there were many protest marches, as people showed their objection to segregation. Some of the protesters were unfairly arrested, but those who believed in civil rights continued to march and demonstrate until laws changed. The word "protest" can be a noun (a protest), but it is usually a verb: to protest. A person who is involved in such an activity is called a "protester."
A protest means to get your point across about something that has bothered you personally/physically. Example: The man protested about the law just passed.

Usually it's in a formal manner.
