In
regards to what not to do, this article of this constitution reform observing
the problems associated with the Qing Empire 清 (China,
Manchuria, Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, parts of South East Russia, Taiwan and
Hainan 1644~1911) and what make this dynasty a failure, especially how the
policy of the Qing Empire, trying to secure its power by abolishing all
previous government structure and
1.
replacing it with a six houses structure, where the office of the Emperor, hold
all power and responsibility of the Federal government and the six houses of
the Federal Government can only act as advisers and
2.
radically decrease the power of all local governments,
resulting in an over
monopolization government structure and as a result, the eighteenth century
British ambassador to then China once referred to the Qing Empire as a giant
ship with only one sailor, for now the ship is sailing fine, but if the sailor
become dizzy for just one second, the ship would start to sink and nothing the
sailor can do later could stop the sinking, which is exactly what happened by
the late eighteenth century and eventually led to the total collapsed of the
Qing Empire by 1911 and even before the late eighteenth century, it was
struggling against total collapsed and was seen continue deterioration in all
arenas, throughout the Qing Empire era and the main reason the Qing Empire was
able to last so long till collapse, is due to prior to the Qing Empire, Asia
has been the most powerful region in the world, for the last 2000 years,
allowing the Qing Empire to last for 150 years, till the deterioration to start
having any really effect. The lesson to be learn from the Qing Empire, is to
avoid an over monopolized government structure.
