The correct answer to this open question is the following.
According to the chart, who was giving what to whom?
According to the chart, the Han Dynasty was giving silk in catties and in bales to the Xiongnu Mongols, as part of the tribute paid by the Chinese to the Mongols that invaded them.
The Xiongnu Mongols used to raid the northern territories of China. They were known to be fierce and effective warriors that rode horses and dabble into the Chinese territory. That is why -or at least part of the reason- the Chinese emperor ordered the construction of the Chinese Great Wall.
This is a false assumption and part of the general paranoia/conspiracy theories of the modern world.
In essence, the WTO or the World Trade Organization was developed to enhance global trade between different nations and maintain a set of rules, laws and agreements that can be mutually beneficial.
More trade should be able to create more businesses, more jobs and eventually more economic prosperity for the participating countries.
Since, it does not always work out for everyone, a conspiracy theory involves, large corporations using WTO to 'control the world'.
Nothing can be further from the truth. The WTO is made up of elected/representative officials of all the countries.
Answer:
First Estate
Explanation:
In Eighteenth century French society was divided in to three social orders. The top layer of the society was called the First estate. The first estate was the Church and included clergy. It had considerable influence the people as most of the population was believers. The Second Estate constituted Nobility (Knights). The aristocrats could easily enter the first estate. Peasants constituted the third estate and produced food for the first and second estate.
Estates defined a persons place in the society and it was based on the profession and by the class in which he is born. Like men, women were also born into the three estate. They could also become the member of first estate by entering the church, it could be willingly or unwillingly. New urban middle class began to emerge by mid fourteenth century.
The first estate was wealthy as it owned lands and collected tithes and rents, it avoided paying any tax to the state. They were corrupt and were criticised during the French revolution. The lower classes became ardent critics of the church as they wanted to have greater say and wanted the church to be more accountable.
Ten percent of all land in France was owned by Church and it collected revenue of at least 150 million a year.
It would be "C. protective tariffs" that helped fuel economic growth by encouraging people to buy American goods, since these discouraged the importation and sale of foreign goods.
