Passive resistance is a nonviolent form of protest where individuals refuse to comply with certain laws, demands, or commands of a governing authority, often in a peaceful manner. This approach aims to highlight injustice and provoke change by drawing attention to the moral high ground of the resistors. It typically involves techniques like civil disobedience, boycotts, and sit-ins, as exemplified by figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. By maintaining nonviolence, passive resistance seeks to win public sympathy and encourage dialogue, ultimately pressuring authorities to reconsider their stance.
