The last decades, the analysis of the legal meaning of revolution has been limited. Suddenly, the Arab Spring in 2010, which has lasted till now, led to a reexamination of revolution’s background. Throughout history, many revolutions have broken out. The Roman Republic was shocked by the revolution of the Thracian Spartacus (73-71 BC) where as the Roman Empire by the Great Revolt of the Jews (66–73 AD), the Eastern Roman Empire faced the Nika Revolt in 532 AD and the Abbasid Caliphate confronted the revolt of slaves, called the Zanj Rebellion in 869 AD.1 Also, during the Middle Ages, the peasants many times carried out uprisings. The uprising of the peasants in France in 1358 (Jacquerie Revolt) is famous as well as the Peasants’ Revolt in England in 1381 and the Great Peasants' Revolt in Germany in 1524-1524. Among them, some had a deeper national, political, religious or social content. For example, in 1382 the Maillotins Revolt was against the imposition of tax in France while in 1450 the Jack Cade Rebellion in England confronted the abuse of power and the public debt. Rebellions become ‘revolutions’ when the insurgents are successful. Usually, the word ‘rebellion’ produces negative connotations. On the contrary, resistance and revolution are terms which create positive connotations
