Are good intentions more important than written laws?

Intentions always matter more. The morality of an action lies in the intent behind it, not in its outcome. We can only judge a person's character by how hard they try to do the right thing, not by whether or not they fail due to circumstances beyond their control.

Explanation:

the mongolian invasion of china and central asia resulted in a disruption of the silk road as the chinese garrisons lost support from the chinese kingdoms which fell under the mongols. however, as the mongols established a formal dynasty in china, the successors of genghis khan restored the garrisons along the silk road allowing the safe travel caravans again.

the nationalists wanted a strong central government so the new country wouldn't fall apart.
