Live Simply That Others May Simply Live Imagine someone wanting something to happen or something to change so badly that they would easily give up their entire lives for their cause. This is devotion beyond the average citizen, and most do not possess this ability.

Civil disobedience is the refusal to obey civil laws in an effort to induce change in governmental policy or legislation, characterized by the use of passive resistance or other nonviolent means.
