Accordingly what Korean Proclamation of Independence stated were mainly
1. “restore our natural, rational foundation by rectifying the unnatural, irrational ambition of the Japanese politicians in the grip of obsolete ideas”
2. “mutual understanding–an indispensable step toward the stability of East Asia, which will in turn contribute to the attainment of world peace”
3. “protecting our inalienable individual right to freedom”
Thus, in addition to the idea of the Korean Proclamation of Independence stated above, we thought that necessary functions of a government was to:
1. Specify the part about protecting essential human rights. For instance, freedom of speech, rights on property, freedom of religion or belief and so on. The Proclamation should have included details on diverse fields.
2. Provide stable environment for the people of the country. In other words, before taking care of contributing to the world peace, the government should think about their country first and should maintain a stable foreign relationship at the same time.
3. It is important to keep our own natural foundation; however, we should have tolerance and respect toward other countries too. Today’s world is not a world where one can live by oneself and thus, homogeneous culture or race became less significant.
