The Mandate of Heaven is a Chinese political and religious doctrine to justify the rule of the King or Emperor of China. According to this belief, <em>Heaven</em> bestows a mandate on the ruler of China. However, if he was overthrown, or if natural disasters occurred, this was considered an indication that the ruler had lost the mandate. Therefore, civilian rebellions were accepted as part of the cycle. The cycle had the following pattern:

A New Dynasty Rises
A New Dynasty Rules
Mandate of Heaven Lost by the Dynasty
The Dynasty Grows Weak
Period of Violence Follows

According to Chinese citizens, a new dynasty would rise and become powerful. This would lead them to rule as long as they received the mandate of heaven. However, if heaven was displeased with the ruler, the dynasty would lose its mandate. As a consequence, China would experience natural disasters, rebellions and the weakening of the dynasty. A period of violence and rebellion on the part of the citizens would follow, until a different dynasty arose from the chaos and became the ruling dynasty and the cycle continued.

The purpose of the law is to protect peoples right to safety. This is a term established in article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
If this law did not exist, government officials would be failing in their duty to secure the right to safety of the citizens of this country. Citizens would be exposed to worsened conditions while being driving a car or as a pedestrian.

Assuming this is the same question you posted before, the better historical argument deals with the idea that World War II began in part from the failure of the Treaty of Versailles.
