The Mandate of Heaven (天命) was a principle used to justify the power of the emperor of China, as well as explaining suitability for the office. According to this belief, heaven bestows its mandate to a just ruler, the Son of Heaven. The Mandate of Heaven depends on the virtue of the emperor; if he does not fulfill his obligations as emperor, then he loses the Mandate and thus the right to be emperor. The Mandate of Heaven would then transfer to whoever would rule best. The fact that a ruler was overthrown was taken by itself as an indication that the ruler had lost the Mandate of Heaven. In addition, it was also common belief that natural disasters such as famine and flood were other signs of heaven’s displeasure with the current ruler, so there would often be revolts following major environmental events as citizens saw these as signs of heaven's displeasure.

The Mandate of Heaven does not require that a legitimate ruler be of noble birth, and dynasties were often founded by people of common birth (such as the Han dynasty and Ming dynasty). The Mandate of Heaven had no time limitations, depending instead on the just and able performance of the ruler and his heirs. Throughout the history of China, times of poverty and natural disasters were often taken as signs that heaven considered the incumbent ruler unjust and thus in need of replacement.

The concept of the Mandate of Heaven was first used to support the rule of the kings of the Zhou dynasty(1046-256 BCE), and their overthrow of the earlier Shang dynasty(1600-1046 BCE). It was used throughout the history of China to support the rule of the emperors of China, including non-Han ethnic monarchs such as the Qing dynasty. This concept was also applied to nearby countries like Korea and Vietnam

Evaluate What are the constitutional provisions distinguishing among citizens by birth, naturalized establishing citizenship? De
noname [10]

In America, in order to become a citizen, the person has to either be born or naturalized in the country of the United States. A non-citizen; however, is anyone from a different country that does not owe allegiance to the U.S.

There are two ways by which a person can become a U.S citizen by birth: Jus Solis and Jus Sanguinis. Jus Solis is when a person has the right to citizenship for being born in the State or territories. Jus Sanguinis is the right to citizenship when the person has at least one American parent.

Naturalization is the legal process by which non-natives become American citizens. A person who is not a citizen, but wants to become one, has to meet the requirements and go through the U.S naturalization process.

In contract law, undue influence differs from duress in that duress includes ______.
Mkey [24]

In contract law, undue influence differs from duress in that duress includes improper threat which is missing in undue influence. Duress is the use of any kind of threat, force or psychological pressure in order to dominate someone and make him take decisions against his will. The two principal categories of duress are physical and economic duress.

Physical duress is when one party uses a threat of bodily harm or death to make another party agree to a certain contract. Physical duress can be inflicted on individuals as well as goods. Economic duress is when any type of economic pressure is used by a party to force the other party to enter into an illegal contract which they would not have agreed to otherwise.

Giving someone life threats if they do not perform a given task is an example of duress.
