A Revolution is a fundamental change in power or organizational
structures that takes place in a relatively short
period of time. Aristotle thus described two types of political
revolution:
1. Complete change from one constitution to another
2. Modification of an existing constitution
The glorious Revolution of England and the North American
Civil War happened during the same period; the most
significant period for the beginning of Liberal Thought. The
French and Russian Revolutions happened in violence. Most authoritative
heads had been publicly persecuted. Economy was
in depression and governments did not evoke confidence in
public mind. So what were the thoughts of the common man?
The common man suffered emotionally and economically
and a fever of anger rose against the situation. His confusion
led to mob anger, with the mobs taking action. Decisionmaking
was influenced by action… not the other way round.
With every act, man was confident of change; but when he
lost, he became frustrated with his own unthinking actions. It
affected the emotional, sensitive and creative man differently.
Man has to think first; his actions then become an outcome
of his thoughts.
