The statement is - False.

Wang Mang and his land reforms proved to be unsuccessful, and in fact they caused the biggest problem and enemy to his reign because people started to make rebellions because of his reforms.

His reforms were basically some form of socialist agricultural measures, where he made all of the land in the country in state property, and also people were not allowed to have more than 0,6 square km of land, and if they had or gained more, than they had to redistribute it with their family and cousins, and if they didn't they were exiled to the wild outskirts of the country.

Was the Thirteenth Amendment a success or a failure? Discuss the reasons for your answer.

White raven [17]

Answer:

The 13th amendment was a success .

Explanation:

The 13th amendment aimed at prohibiting slavery throughout the United States. And that was a success, slavery was really abolished and the purpose of the amendment was achieved.

However, abolishing slavery did not make blacks equal. The end of slavery did not bring an end to prejudice and racism, but these were not the aims of this amendment. For this reason, we can conclude that the amendment was a success.

Explain each Buddhist influence by clearly identifying the Buddhist belief or practice and how it influenced pop culture

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

After a long period of commercial intercourse, there appear among the crowd of barbarians both good persons and

bad, unevenly. Consequently there are those who smuggle opium to seduce the Chinese people and so cause the

spread of the poison to all provinces. Such persons who only care to profit themselves, and disregard their harm to

others, are not tolerated by the laws of heaven and are unanimously hated by human beings. His Majesty the

Emperor, upon hearing of this, is in a towering rage. He has sent me, his commissioner, to come to Kwangtung, and

to investigate and settle this matter.

All those people in China who sell opium or smoke opium should

receive the death penalty. We have however received a specially

extended favor from his Majesty the Emperor, who considers that

for those who voluntarily surrender can be excused them from

punishment. But as for those who again violate the opium

prohibition, it is difficult for the law to pardon them repeatedly.

Having established new regulations, we presume that the ruler of

your honorable country, who takes delight in our culture and

whose disposition is inclined towards us, must be able to instruct

the various barbarians to observe the law with care. It is only

necessary to explain to them the advantages and disadvantages

and then they will know that the legal code of the Celestial Court

must be absolutely obeyed with awe.

We find that your country is sixty or seventy thousand li [3 li

equals one mile] from China. Yet there are barbarian ships that

strive to come here for trade for the purpose of making a great

profit. The wealth of China is used to profit the barbarians. That

is to say, the great profit made by barbarians is all taken from the

rightful share of China. By what right do they then in return use

the poisonous drug to injure the Chinese people? Even though

the barbarians may not necessarily intend to do us harm, yet in

coveting profit to an extreme, they have no regard for injuring

others.

Let us ask, where is your conscience? I have heard that the smoking of opium is very strictly forbidden by your

country; that is because the harm caused by opium is clearly understood. In the London metropolis where you

dwell, as also in Scotland, Ireland, and other such places, no opium whatever is produced. Since it is not permitted

to do harm to your own country, then even less should you let it be passed on to the harm of other countries - how

much less to China!
