"Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that tends toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent towards, or resistance
against established authority. Sedition may include any commotion,
though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious
words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interest of sedition.
Typically, sedition is not considered a subversive act, and the overt acts
that may be prosecutable under sedition laws vary from one legal code
to another. Where the history of these legal codes has been traced,
there is also a record of the change in the definition of the elements
constituting sedition at certain points in history. This overview has
served to develop a sociological definition of sedition as well, within the study of state persecution."
