Political protests often arise in response to perceived inequities in power distribution. What underlying cause typically drives this perception?

Political protests often happen when people feel that power is not shared fairly among different groups in society. This feeling can come from seeing some individuals or groups having more access to resources, opportunities, or decision-making than others. For example, if a community sees that a wealthy neighborhood gets better schools and services while theirs struggles, they may feel unfairly treated and decide to protest for change. The underlying cause of this perception is often a lack of representation and voice in the political process, making people feel ignored or oppressed. When enough individuals share these feelings, they can come together to demand a more equitable distribution of power and resources.
