A '''revolution''' (from the [[Latin]] revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental [[change]] in [[power]] or organizational [[structures]] that takes place in a [[relative]]ly short period of [[time]]. Aristotle described two types of political revolution:
*Complete change from one constitution to another
*the [[action]] by a [[celestial]] body of going round in an [[orbit]] or [[elliptical]] [[course]]
*Modification of an existing constitution.[1]
: the [[time]] taken by a celestial body to make a complete round in its orbit
: the rotation of a celestial body on its axis
*Complete [[change]] from one constitution to another
*Modification of an existing [[constitution]].[1]
Revolutions have occurred through [[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]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution]
