passive resistance
Noun: * A form of protest or opposition to authority, especially a government, that is characterized by non-violent, non-cooperative actions.

It emphasizes the passive or non-violent nature of the resistance, even in the face of potential provocation or force from authorities. * It is often associated with historical movements led by figures like Mahatma Gandhi. * It functions as a mass noun (uncountable) and is not typically used in the plural.
