Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mary and her fellow demonstrators are intentionally breaking the law (holding the senator against his will) to bring attention to their cause, which is an example of civil disobedience. A protest generally does not involve breaking the law or holding someone against their will. Indirect lobbying and social justice movements may also align with their cause, but are not specifically reflected in this scenario.
