    In Kevin J. O’Brien’s article, Rightful Resistance, the methods of rightful resistance are described as resisting by using legal and non-violent means, exploiting promises made by political elites, and exerting political pressure.

O’Brien begins his argument by first discussing popular resistance. He describes a sort of stereotypical view of popular resistance that includes uprisings of the poor against the elite. He uses this in contrast to rightful resistance, which is indeed a method the underprivileged may use, as it is non-violent.…

Wang Anshi believed that there should be a strong central government, which involved itself in the issues of its society. He wanted to reform the existing government and implement systems to help the peasant people.
