seditionists
Plotters against government
Seditionists are people who engage in sedition—conduct or speech inciting rebellion against governmental authority.
The term implies organized resistance that stops short of outright treason but aims to undermine or overthrow established order.
The seditionists were charged with conspiracy after the riot.
The word carries strong condemnation, often used by authorities to delegitimize dissent.
