A revolution is the act of removing a government, often by force, and putting a new government in its place. Revolutions usually occur at breaking points. People are so fed up with the current form of government that they rebel. Revolutions can also occur when powerful individuals seize power. During the American Revolution, the form of government in the American colonies changed from a constitutional monarchy to a representative democracy. There was a revolution in Egypt in 2011. As a result, the country’s government changed from a dictatorship to an oligarchy to a representative democracy over just a few months.
