  Remonstrate \Re*mon"strate\, v. i.
     To present and urge reasons in opposition to an act, measure,
     or any course of proceedings; to expostulate; as, to
     remonstrate with a person regarding his habits; to
     remonstrate against proposed taxation.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           It is proper business of a divine to state cases of
           conscience, and to remonstrate against any growing
           corruptions in practice, and especially in principles.
                                                    --Waterland.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Expostulate, Remonstrate.
  
     Usage: These words are commonly interchangeable, the
            principal difference being that expostulate is now
            used especially to signify remonstrance by a superior
            or by one in authority. A son remonstrates against the
            harshness of a father; a father expostulates with his
            son on his waywardness. Subjects remonstrate with
            their rulers; sovereigns expostulate with the
            parliament or the people.
