After the American Revolution, the newly independent states established their own governments through state constitutions. These constitutions were influenced by ideas of natural rights, social contract theory, popular sovereignty, separation of powers, and checks and balances. However, many states established legislative supremacy which caused problems as legislatures did not adequately protect citizens' rights and factions formed. The Massachusetts constitution was more balanced as it distributed power among the branches and included gubernatorial veto power. State declarations of rights also protected citizens' natural rights like trial by jury and freedom of religion.

Under the Ming dynasty, the Chinese developed massive ships called junks that could carry 500 people and had watertight compartments. They also invented the magnetic compass, allowing for longer sea voyages. The Chinese invented paper and block printing, which led to widespread literacy as books became cheaper and more schools opened. They were also the first to discover gunpowder in the 900s and its uses later spread to other parts of the world. Confucianism became the dominant philosophy, emphasizing social order, family values, and respect for authority. Chinese innovations in technology, culture, and thought influenced neighboring regions like Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.
The Ming Dynasty restored Chinese power after the Mongol rule ended due to natural disasters and the death of Kublai Khan.

His son Yongle took over after his death and moved the capital to Beijing to strengthen defenses, building the impressive Forbidden City.
