Was the American Revolution really a revolution? Revolution-an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed, a radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure, especially one made suddenly and often accompanied by violence, a sudden, complete or marked change in something, a procedure or course, as if in a circuit, back to a starting point, and a single turn of this kind. The Word Revolution Comes From The Word Revolutio In Latin, Which Means Turnaround. The Revolution Was An Evolution Of Mankind. They Were Not Just Fighting For Rights; They Were Fighting For Freedom. Aristotle Described That There Were Two Kinds Of Revolution- Revolutions have occurred throughout human history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration, and motivating ideology. Their results include major changes in culture, economy, and socio-political institutions. Scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center around several issues. Early studies of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from a psychological perspective, but more modern examinations include global events and incorporate perspectives from several social sciences, including sociology and political science. Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories and contributed much to the current understanding of this complex phenomenon. Perhaps most often, the word 'revolution' is employed to denote a change in socio-political institutions. Jeff Goodwin gives two definitions of a revolution. A broad one, where revolution is "any and all instances in which a state or a political regime is overthrown and thereby transformed by a popular movement in an irregular, extraconstitutional and/or violent fashion"; and a narrow one, in which "revolutions entail not only mass mobilization and regime change, but also more or less rapid and fundamental social, economic and/or cultural change, during or soon after the struggle for state power." Jack Goldstone defines them as
 * 1) Complete change from one constitution to another
 * 2) Modification of an existing constitution.

an effort to transform the political institutions and the justifications for political authority in society, accompanied by formal or informal mass mobilization and noninstitutionalized actions that undermine authorities.
