Argument Against Governments Forcing Protests to Stop

Abstract

This argument demonstrates that suppressing protests undermines societal progress, destabilizes governance, and erodes public trust. It emphasizes protests as intrinsic expressions of human dignity and societal evolution, supported by historical evidence and ethical reasoning. The argument offers practical solutions for governments to engage constructively with dissent, fostering justice, harmony, and progress.
