This would help maintain control and prevent any potential uprisings or rebellions. By involving peasants in the decision-making process, the government aimed to create a sense of inclusion and contentment among them, potentially making them happier and less likely to engage in any acts of unrest.

    The Zemstva (local councils) could no longer raise taxes without permission. This suggests that there was a change in their authority or power, possibly due to a shift in the political or administrative structure. The requirement for permission indicates that there was now a higher level of control or oversight over the Zemstva's financial decisions. This change could have been implemented to ensure a more centralized control over the taxation system or to limit the Zemstva's autonomy in fiscal matters.
