When the government was born, it was fair in nature, based on the interests of the majority, maintaining social order and promoting business development; but with the development of human society, the government gradually became a ruling tool of the aristocracy in the feudal system.

The people broke out in revolutions in their painful lives and established a relatively equal modern social political system.
