It means that the land and money are mostly in the hands of a small population: of the rich (which can, but don't have to also have the political power).

The American Revolution established the United States as a nation built on the idea of citizens' rights and freedoms. It was revolutionary in its time, because governments than typically had been in the interests of those at the top of society (kings and aristocrats). But the American Revolution put power in the hands of the people, and that revolutionary idea still holds true. We still think of the United States as having the ability to pursue revolutionary change, including changing who is in control in government, based on what is good for the people. Thomas Jefferson expressed this ideal in the <em>Declaration of Independence </em>(1776):
- <em>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain </em><em>unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.</em><em>–That to secure these rights, </em><em>Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, </em><em>–That </em><em>whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,</em><em> laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem </em><em>most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. </em>
The assumption that the empire could be ruled and united under the emperor was challenged as many different families and factions fought for control and continuously engaged in warfare and intrigues in order to gain or consolidate power.
Because of the lack of central control and stability, some of the grand projects envisioned by rulers like the Grand Canal or the Great Wall fell by the wayside because of a lack of funding and again the lack of control over the various factions.
This led in some ways to a return to looking inward and working within familial groups and locally controlled provinces. The assumption of a national identity was slowed and even stopped in some places as different provinces again started to look out for their own interests and stood up to fight for them against anyone not willing to allow them that freedom.
