Tokugawa: rigid four-tier class system, sumptuary laws, dress/residence rules and sankin-kotai froze social mobility and isolated daimyo to keep order.
Qing: enforced Manchu dominance with the queue, banner system and ethnic dress/intermarriage rules while using civil-service exams and legal privileges to co-opt Han elites.
