  1. Reform

    other uses Original research date April 2009 Reform means to put or change into an improved form or condition to amend or improve by change of color or removal of faults or abuses, beneficial change, more specifically, reversion to a pure original state, to repair, restore or to correct. Reform is generally distinguished from revolution . The latter means basic or radical change whereas reform may be no more than fine tuning, or at most redressing serious wrongs without altering the fundamentals of the system. Reform seeks to improve the system as it stands, never to overthrow it wholesale. Radicals on the other hand, seek to improve the system, but try to overthrow whether it be the government or a group of people themselves. Rotation in office or term limits would, by contrast, be more revolutionary, in altering basic political connections between incumbents and constituents. ref On term limits reform see, http www.ustl.org index.html U.S. Term Limits . On more radical revolutionary changes, including term limits, see, for example, Robert Struble, Jr., http www.tell usa.org Treatise on Twelve Lights To Restore America the Beautiful under God and the Written Constitution, 2007 08 edition. ref Developing countries may carry out a wide range of reforms to improve their living standards, often with support from international financial institutions and aid agencies .
