Legal history of China | Development after 1949 | Mao Zedong maintained that revolution was continuous, and he opposed any legal system that would constrain it. Whereas Western law stressed stability, Mao sought constant change, emphasized the contradictions in society, and called for relentless class struggle. In this milieu, the courts were instruments for achieving political ends, and criminal law was used by the party to conduct class struggle. The emphasis was shifting constantly, and new "enemies" were often identified. Mao believed it unwise to codify a criminal law that later might restrain the party.

Legal history of China | Legal system under the 1954 Constitution | a first step toward an orderly administration of justice.
Between 1954 and 1957, much effort was expended to make the legal system work, but the underlying conflict between the specialists and the cadres, who were more concerned about ideology than the legal system, remained. By 1956 the situation had polarized. The specialists argued that the period of intense class struggle was over and that all people should now be considered equal before the law and the state constitution. The cadres, on the other hand, contended that class struggle would never end and that separate standards should be applied to class enemies. |

Italy Italian socialist Carlo Rosselli was inspired by the definition of socialism by the founder of social democracy, Eduard Bernstein, who defined socialism as "organised liberalism". Rosselli expanded on Bernstein's arguments by developing his notion of liberal socialism (Italian: socialismo liberale). In 1925, Rosselli defined the ideology in his work of the same name in which he supported the type of socialist economy defined by socialist economist Werner Sombart in Der modern Kapitalismus (1908) that envisaged a new modern mixed economy that included both public and private property, limited economic competition and |

Legal history of China | Development after 1949 & Early years of the People's Republic (1949–1953) | current directives and circulars.
Most cultures agree that the purpose of criminal law is to control deviancy—the Chinese traditionally have sought to do so through peer groups rather than through the courts. This practice continued after 1949. Ideally, peers helped the deviant through criticism or shuofu (persuading by talking). The stress was on education and rehabilitation, a policy linked to the Confucian and Maoist tenet that, with patience and persuasion, a person can be reformed. Early years of the People's Republic (1949–1953) In 1949 the Communists abolished all Kuomintang laws and judicial organs and established the Common Program, a statement of |

Liebig's kaliapparat simplified the technique of quantitative organic analysis and rendered it routine.

Taenite contains more nickel (12 to 45 wt. % Ni) than kamacite (which has 5 to 12 wt. % Ni). The increase in nickel content causes taenite to have a face-centered unit cell, whereas kamacite's higher iron content causes its unit cell to be body centered. This difference is caused by nickel and |

Root systems create macroports at the bottom of the troughs, into which water can infiltrate. At the same time, the small ridges allow air to escape.
Desertification causes the soil surface to be smooth and closed. Reduced soil macroporosity inhibits infiltration. Rainfall cannot infiltrate through macroports, and air becomes trapped (Figure 2, right). A sealed soil surface prevents rainwater infiltration, partly because air contained within soil macropores cannot escape, and water is unable to displace the air. Imprinting Imprinting |
