Question

the last thirty years have seen the greatest number of

“The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress,until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all."为什么这里面的stopping our rights and progress在句子成分中作的是定语，而不是see the laws的宾补？另外求前半句话的详细的语法点解释，详细！详细！

Answer 1

The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws 【stopping our rights and progress】

这里的括号内是【现在分词做后置定语，相当于that are stopping....的定语从句】。

其中

 the last thirty years 是主语

have seen 谓语

the greatest number of laws 宾语

stooping....后置定语

为什么不可以理解为宾语补足语

追答

宾语补足语是补充说明宾语， 比如I think it beautiful。 这里就是说明宾语it的状态。
而定语是起修饰先行词的作用，比如 I met a nice guy。 这里的nice是限定成分，说明guy很nice。
虽然宾语补足语与定语有时候分解很模糊，但是确实两者的作用不一样。
