This essay introduces the law and policy making during the three Stages of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It also analyzes how the two factors, namely the legitimacy of law and sanction, contributing to the obedience of law made Chinese people firmly follow Mao’s revolutionary road during the first two Stages, and how they attribute to the failure of the Revolution in Stage III. Through this comprehensive exploration, the reader will gain a profound understanding of the dynamic relationship between state authority, citizen obedience, and the evolving legal framework during this tumultuous period of Chinese history. The essay underscores the significance of legitimacy and sanctions, not only as instruments of social control but also as critical forces shaping the trajectory of the Cultural Revolution. These insights provide valuable lessons and insights, facilitating a more comprehensive perspective on the challenges and complexities of legal and political systems in the context of transformative societal movements.
