The revolution in Europe and the United States, especially the French revolution of 1789, expressed the right of change, the Declaration of Human Rights, and citizenship. This right was expressed in the form of "resisting tyranny" and the "right of revolution". It was included in many writings of the Renaissance and Enlightenment period, but it started to disappear when democracy stabilized as a political system expressing the modern state identity. In spite of the fact that the democratic pattern embedded a group of guarantees in order to exercise public freedoms, the right of change has remained as the last resort that does not need to be documented in national laws and constitution., However, its legality and legitimacy are based on the principle of people's sovereignty.
