levantarse en armas contra

(v.) = take + arms against, rebel (against)

Ex. The Declaration of Independence was made all the more powerful because of the power of printing to multiply copies and to support public readings of it as the American colonies took up arms against England.

Ex. It is still a way to rebel against the school establishment, parents and a way for non-smoking teenagers to gain one-upmanship over those who smoke.
