Revolution in English

Revolution, in the political sense, is a concrete and deep transformation that generally occurs over the socioeconomic or political-institutional structure. The revolution is produced and executed by a large mobilization and popular representation, which intends to go against the authorities of the system in power. It can be said that a revolution is reached when the changes in the system mark a new order. It is assumed that revolution is intrinsically related to violence, however, the revolution can be understood without violence. The term revolution, in the way it was previously defined, is a concept that was only accepted until after the main events of the 18th century. Before this time, the word revolution was associated with the astronomical field, because it made reference to the eternal and recurrent movement of the celestial bodies; the political use was metaphoric and made reference to the return to a pre-established point, that is, the return to a predetermined order. Specifically, it is during the French Revolution when the possibility of creating a new form of order and instruments of power that ensure freedom and happiness to the people is established.
