The importance is that for the first time in history, a national constitution explicitly stated that it had been drafted not by a monarch or a group of barons but by representatives of ordinary citizens. It expressed the fact that such government had been instituted by the democratic will of the people and not by the “divine right” of a monarch or ruler.
It is definitely a collective term; it puts forward the right of self-government of the national community. It does not express the ruling will of an individual person but the collective will of an entire nation.
i'm not well rehearsed in the boxer rebellion but im pretty sure it showed to the european powers that china was to big to be simply colonized and if they do decide to colonize china it would fall pretty fast im not entirely sure but this is what i think :)
Dear student, The government has abolished certain customs and practises as they are harmful for the people and the society at large. For example, it has abolished the practise of dowry system. Every year many girls or brides face harassment, violence and exploitation for dowry demands.
