Legal document unaffected by revolution (4)
I believe the answer is:
deed
'legal document' is the definition.
(I know that deed is a type of legal document)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deed that I've seen before include "What's done" , "Action - legal document" , "A conscious action" , "Conscious act" , "Feat" .)
