Answer
This late Victorian alphabet, written and illustrated by Mary Frances Ames (writing as Mrs. Ernest Ames), aims to teach young Britons their ABCs — along with a veneration for military might, empire, and colonialism. At the end of the 19th century, the British Empire was nearing the zenith of its empire and territorial holdings. With unchallenged naval superiority, Britain extended formal control over India and large swaths of Africa, as well as indirect economic control over many more nations. That global hegemony is celebrated in this children’s book, with racist illustrations of tiger hunts in India, “naughty” Africans in chains, and fearsome displays of military power to excite the next generation of conquerors. It also includes classic British icons such as roast beef and unicorns.
Explanation:
What did our Victorian forebears think of their country, the empire, the army and navy, the life they led and, of course, their beloved Queen? Hundreds of mighty tomes have been written about the great colonial years when Britain ruled the waves but perhaps none summed it up so succinctly as this ABC for Baby Patriots first published in 1899. Was it written to instil patriotic and imperial values into children? After all, the great Empire builder Cecil Rhodes had said 'Remember that you are an Englishman and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life'; or was it a disapproving tongue in cheek comment on jingoism? You must judge for yourself. Either way it provides an extraordinary view of the Victorian values and attitudes that made Britain great.

Explanation:
When the first section talks about the lawful judgement of his equals, it's basically talking about the jury of peers.
The government system of the Soviet Union during Cold War was communism, which basically abolishes the right of an individual to own a private property. This means that the government has the sole control in all of its resources, thus a greater chance of accumulating and safe-keeping of wealth. Furthermore, during those times war among nations was already at a set off so there was a need to advance their artillery system and other equipment needed to armed themselves in case of attacks. Therefore, most of their resources went to defense spending.
This lead to the understanding among the Soviet Union's people that the current government system was already inefficient and is not viable to sustain the needs of their country. People then demanded a change.
