It is a direct way in which the voice and sentiment of the
people will be heard by government or the institution that they have a grievance
with. It is when they refuse to buy or
abstain from any service from a person or institution be it government or the
private sector. For example, if
government enacts an unfair law like suddenly imposing taxes that people can’t
pay. They would refuse to pay it as well
as not support any program or policy by that administration. When that happens, it would cripple that
government both economically and politically until they would withdraw or make
changes on that law that would be acceptable to the people.
