'The Preliminary Constitution of the Republic of China'

The Preliminary Constitution of the Republic of China, adopted in 1946, served as a foundational document outlining the country's future governance. It established principles of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, and set up a government structure including a president, legislature, and judiciary. Its goal was to promote democratic development and national unity. However, due to political conflicts and external pressures, the full implementation faced challenges, leading to amendments and the eventual adoption of the full 1947 Constitution. The Preliminary Constitution symbolized a commitment to modernization and democratic ideals during a turbulent period in China's history.
