In what ways was England stable during the reign of Richard III?

There are many arguments stating that in the reign of Richard III there were no stabilities in England by any means. I have to disagree with this based on the evidence I have found stating otherwise.  This evidence includes the facts that he passed the most progressive laws on record for the Fifteenth Century.  He set up a council of advisors that cautiously included Lancastrian supporters, administered justice for the poor as well as the rich, and established a series of posting stations for royal messengers between the North and London. By marrying Anne Neville, the Earl of Warwick’s daughter, he inherited Warwick’s authority in the North.  Richard built on this to produce, for himself, a vast territory virtually making himself a sub-king in the region.   Richard had governed the North of England effectively for Edward after 1471 and had given no indication of treachery. After the death of Richard III it was proved that he was popular in the North because the City Council in York recorded on paper its sadness of hearing about his death at the Battle of Wakefield. This may have been because he received much of the support from the Yorkists due to previous loyalty to Edward IV. This was potentially a treacherous thing to do according to the fact that the next King Henry VII was a prime enemy of Richard III.  

He fostered the importation of books, commanded that laws be written in English instead of Latin so the common people could understand their own laws. He outlawed benevolences, started the system of bail and stopped the intimidation of juries.
