They were subversive against the government.

Explanation:

Although the word subversive might be a bit strong. It's better to say that they were the opposition to the military dictatorship, because being subversive usually has the implication of arming oneself against the government, and neither the workers nor the students nor the native peoples were armed.

These are social groups that fought for democracy during the military dictatorship, and because of that, suffered from great oppression. Many leaders of student organizations, labor unions, and native communities were incarcerated, murdered, or disappeared.

explanation:

as the old saying goes, all politics are local. state and federal governments affect our daily lives in numerous ways. yet, in our federal system, there is supposed to be a balance between federal and state power. as james madison envisioned it in federalist no. 51, “the power surrendered by the people” would be “divided between two distinct governments,” creating a balance of power that would enable the “different governments [to] control each other.”
