This study examines footbinding as a mechanism for the marginalization of women in Late Imperial China. It assesses how the practice's debilitating effects, coupled with the indoctrination of Neo-Confucian philosophy, facilitated the exclusion of women from Chinese society. Previous studies have overlooked, in part, the experiences of foot-bound women in discerning the ethicality of the practice. In clarifying scholars' understanding over the nature of footbinding and positioning of women under the Qing dynasty, this study analyzes the ways in which Church of the Brethren missionaries supplemented state modernization efforts at the provincial and local levels. Although such efforts were intended to strengthen and unify the imperial state, contemporary research suggests that anti-footbinding activists were not universally concerned with the status of women. Certain actors attempted to frame footbinding as a national embarrassment in order to garner support from Western audiences and compensate for the failing Qing court. Despite officials' resistance towards national level reform, government oversight in advancing the rights of women seems to have allotted for a greater role of regional and transnational actors in the anti-footbinding movement. Underlying the nationalist sentiment of the Xinhai Revolution, the nexus of these advocacy efforts played an integral role in revitalizing the status of women under the emerging Republic of China.

Britain's justification for colonial rule in India stressed the impossibility of Indian self-government. And the empire did its best to ensure this was the case, impoverishing Indian subjects and doing little to improve their socioeconomic reality. So when independence came, the cultivation of democratic citizenship was a foremost challenge. Madhav Khosla explores the means India's founders used to foster a democratic ethos. They knew the people would need to learn ways of citizenship, but the path to education did not lie in rule by a superior class of men, as the British insisted. Rather, it rested on the creation of a self-sustaining politics. The makers of the Indian Constitution instituted universal suffrage amid poverty, illiteracy, social heterogeneity, and centuries of tradition. They crafted a constitutional system that could respond to the problem of democratization under the most inhospitable conditions. On January 26, 1950, the Indian Constitution – the longest in the world – came into effect. More than half of the world's constitutions have been written in the past three decades. Unlike the constitutional revolutions of the late eighteenth century, these contemporary revolutions have occurred in countries characterized by low levels of economic growth and education, where voting populations are deeply divided by race, religion, and ethnicity. And these countries have democratized at once, not gradually. The events and ideas of India's Founding Moment offer a natural reference point for these nations where democracy and constitutionalism have arrived simultaneously, and they remind us of the promise and challenge of self-rule today. ; https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/1323/thumbnail.jpg

Based on thorough evaluations of John Locke's England (1632~1704), Jeong Dojeon's Korea (1342~1398), and Heo Gyun's Korea (1569~1618), it can be concluded that a social contract between a ruler and a ruler's subjects existed in both the English and Joseon kingdoms. The idea that both kingdoms could have all people such as servants, farmers, and kings all know their political freedom disproves Hegel's argument that one person knows freedom in Asia, and all people know freedom in Europe. This also shows that there is a broader human context in Asia and Europe and that the desire and drive for political freedom is inherent in human beings, regardless of what hemisphere they are from.
