Answer

  1. Mohandas Gandhi campaigned for India's independence from British rule.
  2. Gandhi led a demonstration to the sea to make salt, instead of buying it from the government, as a form of protest against British salt taxes and monopoly.
  3. The British authorities always released Gandhi from prison after a few months because they feared that his refusal to eat while in jail would lead to his death, causing public outcry and unrest.
  4. Rosa Parks broke the law in Alabama by refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white person, which was mandated by local segregation laws.
  5. Immediately after her 'crime,' Rosa Parks was taken to jail and later put on trial, where she was fined $10.
  6. People protested about Rosa Parks's arrest by boycotting the Montgomery bus system for over a year. This boycott, known as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, garnered significant support for the American civil rights movement and ultimately led to the US Supreme Court banning segregation on public transport.
