The term "Democratic Revolution" refers to a series of political movements that aimed to establish democratic governance and promote individual rights. These revolutions often sought to overthrow authoritarian regimes and replace them with systems that allow for free elections, civil liberties, and the rule of law. Notable examples include the American Revolution and the French Revolution, which significantly influenced democratic ideals worldwide. Democratic revolutions typically arise from widespread discontent with existing political structures, economic inequality, or social injustice. They often involve mass mobilization, protests, and sometimes violent conflict. The outcomes can vary, leading to stable democracies or, in some cases, new forms of authoritarianism.
