What is Government?

In a democratic society, where we hold free elections, and we delegate power over us to our elected representatives, we consent to being governed. When we do not agree with the decisions made by our elected representatives, how should we react? And how DO we react?

If we dosagree with a law (let's be really controversial: Gay Age of Consent. Sex between males of the same sex of any legal age. Men kissing men in public. Banning Books), then what do we do? Do we lobby? Protest? Whine? revolt? What SHOULD we do?
