A quick definition of protest:

A protest is when people publicly express their disagreement with something, like a law or policy. They might hold signs or march in the streets to show their feelings. Sometimes, protests are part of a bigger plan to peacefully change things. People can also protest their property tax rate or an import duty they don't agree with. In commercial transactions, paying "under protest" means the buyer doesn't think the demand for payment is fair, but they pay anyway. A protest can also be a legal way to cancel or defeat a land entry.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition:

  • Verb: To complain publicly about an act or declare something firmly and emphatically in response to an accusation or doubt.
  • Noun: A public demonstration expressing dissent towards an act or policy of a governing body, aimed at influencing public opinion and/or government policy.

Protests are often a form of civil resistance or nonviolent resistance, used as part of a larger systematic and peaceful nonviolent campaign aimed at achieving a specific objective through pressure and persuasion. For example, a protest against sending troops overseas or the use of the death penalty.

Other examples of protest include:

  • A legal procedure by which a taxpayer disputes their property tax rate, assessed evaluation of property for tax purposes, or an import duty.
  • A written demand for payment of an amount owed on a promissory note or a check that was refused by a bank.
  • A document drawn by the master of a ship, stating the circumstances under which damage has happened to the ship or its cargo.
  • An express reservation or notice used in commercial transactions to protect oneself against the effects of any admission that might be implied from their act.
  • A certificate of dishonor made under the hand and seal of a United States consul, vice consul, notary public, or other person authorized to certify dishonor by the law of the place where dishonor occurs in commercial paper transactions.
  • A proceeding to cancel or defeat an entry of public lands.

For example, a protest against property tax rates may involve a taxpayer disputing the assessed evaluation of their property for tax purposes. A protest against an import duty may involve a distinct and clear specification of each substantive ground of objection to the payment of the duty. A protest against a check that was refused by a bank may involve a written demand for payment of the amount owed. These examples illustrate how protests can be used to challenge and dispute various legal and financial issues.
