Reform

Reform refers to the improvement or amendment of what is wrong, corrupt, unsatisfactory, etc. The modern usage of the word emerged in the late 18th century and is believed to have originated from Christopher Wyvill's Association movement, which identified "Parliamentary Reform" as its primary aim. Reform is generally regarded as antithetical to revolution.

Reformism is a political tendency advocating the reform of an existing system or institution—often a political or religious establishment—as opposed to its abolition and replacement via revolution.
