From the Paper:

"Revolution means change on a massive scale, and the revolutions that took place in America, France, and Russia were all revolutions in the political sense, not simply changing regimes but changing the very nature of government and its relationship to the governed. The causes of the three revolutions were different, as were the governments against which the people rebelled. The American and French revolutions have the most in common, while the Russian Revolution had features that set it part from the other two. All three revolutions, however, signaled a major change in the way the people of each country would be governed thereafter. The most successful of these recognize that the force, which brought about revolution will continue and need to be accommodated within the new system."
