The rule was even in the United States in 1814 by Andrew Jackson, Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States of America.

In 1962 the Communist Party of China and the State Council issue instructions advocating birth control. In 1975, the government creates the policy, it was named “advocating one couple to have one child at best and two at most.” The policy was marvelous and had great progress that in 2013 the National Population, Family Planning Commission and the Health Ministry announced that couples can have a second child if any of the parents is an only child.

People have found out about what the government was trying to do s... ... middle of paper ... ... they allowed the maximum of two child, and today the policy is finally abandoned and people in China can live a normal and better life, all thankful to the “One Child Policy”. The policy should be used in any country that needs it.

The policy helps everyone in the country starting from the guy that is sleeping next to the garbage can, to the guy that drives the garbage truck, and to the guy the owns the garbage company. “Once it was necessary that the people should multiply and be fruitful if the race was to survive. But now to preserve the race it is necessary that people hold back the power of propagation.”
