On November 28, 1923，the presidium of the Executive Committee of the Communist International (Comintern) approved the Resolution on the Issue of the Chinese People's Liberation Movement and the Kuomintang. The resolution said that the Three Principles of the People (Nationalism, Democracy and the People's Livelihood) should be explained with democratic and revolutionary spirits. The explanations became the foundation for the Manifesto of the First National Congress of the Kuomintang.
