Social development rides on top of wealth. The more wealth, the more a country can develop its social fabric. Wealth country= benevolent Poor country= malevolent The degree of benevolence and malevolence depends on the degree of wealth. Compare middle ages with today. Then, the governing powers had to be very Harsh to keep the unwashed hungry people in line to keep a productive society. Note that on top of the free rein to let out the wip on the back of its constituencies, they had on their side the clerum tell the unwashed hungry to behave because they were going to inherit the kingdom of heavens. The benevolence of a governing power depend on how much is has to allow his survival at an rate they deem adequate Thus you notice that starting 1960 the US became benevolent to its poor as it gorged on te profits of being a giant economic power. (See Great Society) As it loses its capacity to dole out benevolence, (see Great Unwinding) the US is going to get tough on the soo to be poor people.

A state of emergency is a governmental declaration that may suspend some normal functions of the executive, legislative and judicial powers, alert citizens to change their normal behaviors, or order government agencies to implement emergency preparedness plans. It can also be used as a rationale for suspending rights and freedoms, even if guaranteed under the constitution. Such declarations usually come during a time of natural or man made disaster, during periods of civil unrest, or following a declaration of war or situation of international or internal armed conflict. Justitium is its equivalent in Roman law. en.wikipedia.org China is in an state of emergency. The state of emergency started with the mayhem as the Qing dynasty died out and ended monarchy. It continued with nation-building under Mao. When they discovered Mao's system had sent the country to the dogs and they were fast going to go Balkanized. China would fail and would split into several smallish states a la USSR. To preserve the nation construct aka China, they kept the state of emergency. You need a historical perspective.
