(ii)
Existence of Article 48 in the Constitution, which gave the President the power
to impose emergency, suspend civil rights and rule by
decree. (1)

Or
Lenin's New Economic Policy,
promulgated by decree on 21st March, 1921, was a temporary retreat from full socialism

It permitted small businesses to
make personal profits, while the state continued to control banks, foreign
trade and large industries.
Elements of capitalism such as
individual profit and private ownership of land were permitted in order to revitalize
the Russian
economy.
