n order to rule effectively, Chandragupta listened to which advice from the Arthashastra? Select all that apply. A. Trust the pe

slavikrds [6]

The Arthashastra is an ancient Indian text written between the 2nd and 3rd century BCE by Kautilya, and it served as a treatise on rulership, politics, economics and military strategy for the rulers of the time (starting with Chandragupta Maurya).

This text establishes a set of guidelines for emperors so they could be the best possible leaders for the people.

One of the aspects that the Arthashastra explains is that it envisioned that the king is - above all - fair to its people looking to provide them with happiness. While his relationship with his subjects was kind, the monarch didn´t trust them.

He kept a team of spies that were tasked with informing everything of the conduct of not only government officials but also the people. This body of spies in addition to an ample set of political and economic measures were the cornerstone to the grasp of the king to power.

Another one of this measures was the punishment to criminals.

The law system was mainly run by the king, guided by the Dharma - and in compliance to the Arthashastra - should deliver the harshest penalties to the people that committed crimes that affected the country as a whole, like it was the case with economic crimes.

Additionally, the Raja (King) should protect the wellbeing of every living bean (Human or animal) by sticking to the practice of the Ahimsa (non-violence towards all living things).

Considering these elements, the answer is: B, C, and E.

The word hemisphere is made up of two parts, hemi and sphere. What does the prefix hemi mean?

Volgvan

Hemisphere originates from the Greek, and consolidates the prefix hemi-, which means "half" with sphere, or "completely round ball." Hemi-is the prefix, signifying "half of a sphere”.

Prefixes and suffixes are etymological components that are not autonomous words but rather that change the word root's significance. Prefixes are word parts that show up at the beginning of the word or base. Not every term have prefixes; but rather when introduce, prefixes make the significance more particular.

What important role do third parties often play in US national elections? HELPPP!

Yuki888 [10]

Third parties generally serve only to take votes from one of the main parties. Third parties generally serve only to take votes from one of the main parties. If the third party has a candidate promising similar things to the Rep. candidate, the Democrats are more likely to win simply because their votes are not being siphoned off. Think of it this way: if a school class were to vote on favorite colors and there were only blue and red to choose from, it would probably be mostly equal. But if the same class were to vote for blue, teal, and red, I would be willing to bet that red would win just because its votes weren't being split like the blue votes were. Teal is the third party. It won't ever win on its own, but it can be influential in that it can help the opposite party win.
