Adjustments to the Senate System in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region(1940-1942)
From the deliberations in 1940 to the convening of the Second Session of the Senate in November 1941,with adherence to the principle of democratic centralism,the senate system in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region underwent its first significant adjustment.The powers of the regional and county senates were legal-ly expanded,thereby assuming the functions of legislation,deliberation,and supervision over the governments at the same level.Concurrently,the region implemented the"three-thirds system,"incorporating a large number of non-party members into the senate at various levels and thereby broadening the democratic base.However,due to various factors,there were limits to the expansion of the powers of the border region senates,and,in practice,these adjustments presented a complex and contradictory pattern.By the end of 1942,the senate system in the border region had embarked on a new round of adjustments and even restructuring.
