There are some coordinated activities that people engage in with secrecy that are not generally thought of as conspiracies. The term generally connotes, or implies, wrongdoing or illegality on the part of the conspirators, as it is commonly believed that people would not need to conspire to engage in activities that were lawful and ethical, or to which no one would object. Depending on the circumstances, a conspiracy may also be a crime, or a civil wrong.
In a political sense, conspiracy refers to a group of people united in the goal of usurping, altering or overthrowing an established political power.
