From life after death to the benefits of worldly living.
The Bill of Rights is the historical document that upholds these important principles.
The feature is the rule of law. Unlike people, legislature cannot be affected by passion and if law rules then everyone is equal in the eyes of law. If a man rules and has absolute power, they can be affected by various things that might make them abuse their power, and law cannot abuse power on its own.
Key basic industries, such as railroads, textiles, and steel had barely made a profit. Railroads lost business to new forms of transportation (trucks, buses, and private automobiles, for instance). Coal mining was especially hard-hit, in part due to stiff competition from new forms of energy, including hydroelectric power, fuel oil, and natural gas.
There was civil war but in the context of a national war against Japan. Mao’s revolutionary forces and Chiang Kai-shek’s reactionary forces collaborated during this time to smash the Japanese invaders and secure national sovereignty. However, Chiang Kai-shek undermined this temporary alliance multiple times and also collaborated with the Japanese aggressors to undermine the communists. By 1947, the Chiang Kai-shek regime was “besieged by the whole people,” and later overthrown in the Chinese Revolution of 1949.
