Democratic revolutions are significant political movements that aim to establish or expand democratic governance. These revolutions often arise in response to authoritarian rule, social inequality, or economic hardship. Key examples include the American Revolution and the French Revolution, which sought to promote individual rights and popular sovereignty. During these revolutions, citizens mobilize to challenge existing power structures, often leading to the establishment of new political systems. The outcomes can vary, with some revolutions resulting in stable democracies, while others may lead to further conflict or authoritarian regimes. The Latin American revolutions also exemplify this struggle for democracy and self-determination.
