Charlemagne was the first ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, which included today's Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. Additionally, Charlemagne was a ruler of the Franks (today's France)
So the Grandsons were rulers of Germany, Italy, France, but for example not ot England: so if England is among the options, this is the correct answer.
Answer:Under the Zhou Dynasty, China moved away from worship of Shangdi (“Celestial Lord”) in favor of worship of Tian (“heaven”), and they created the Mandate of Heaven. According to this idea, there could be only one legitimate ruler of China at a time, and this ruler reigned as the “Son of Heaven” with the approval of the gods. If a king ruled unfairly he could lose this approval, which would result in his downfall. Overthrow, natural disasters, and famine were taken as a sign that the ruler had lost the Mandate of Heaven.The Mandate of Heaven did not require a ruler to be of noble birth, and had no time limitations. Instead, rulers were expected to be good and just in order to keep the Mandate. The Zhou claimed that their rule was justified by the Mandate of Heaven. In other words, the Zhou believed that the Shang kings had become immoral with their excessive drinking, luxuriant living, and cruelty, and so had lost their mandate. The gods’ blessing was given instead to the new ruler under the Zhou Dynasty, which would rule China for the next 800 years.The need for the Zhou to create a history of a unified China is also why some scholars think the Xia Dynasty may have been an invention of the Zhou. The Zhou needed to erase the various small states of prehistoric China from history, and replace them with the monocratic Xia Dynasty in order for their Mandate of Heaven to seem valid (i.e., to support the claim that there always would be, and always had been, only one ruler of China).The Zhou ruled until 256 BCE, when the state of Qin captured Chengzhou. However, the Mandate of Heaven philosophy carried on throughout ancient China.
I believe that the direct effect of the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment is that it improved representation of the people, because now they were able to directly choose Senators, which made the whole voting process a lot democratic.

C. It started the Doctrine of Nullification
Explanation:
The trouble began with the <u>Tariff of 1828</u>. The South was afraid the high tariff would hurt their trade with Europe. South Carolina talked about nullifying the tariff. The argument over the <u>"Doctrine of Nullification"</u> was debated in the Senate. Senator Robert Hayne of South Carolina concluded that if a law was harmful to a particular state, it was the right of that state to declare the law null and void. Daniel Webster of Massachusetts argued that only the Supreme Court could declare a law null and void. He ended his speech with this famous quotation: "Liberty and Union now and forever, one and inseparable."
Answer:
Explanation:In the suburbs, people from different backgrounds created communities. Middle-class Americans looked to national media for advice on matters (from celebrating Thanksgiving to raising Child 101).
By 1950s, America was becoming middle-class nation. Lines separating working class and middle class seemed less important b/c large # of blue-collar workers participated in suburban middle-class culture. Family's living standard mattered more than what sort of work made it possible. People of color were invisible in the participation. However, many middle-income African Americans, Latinos and Asian-Americans did participate in broad middle-class culture.
