Legalism is a philosophical current that was born in China during the warring states era, between 475 and 221 BCE. Initially proclaimed by philosophers like Shang Yang, Li Si and Hanfeizi, this philosophy became the framework under which the Qin dynasty worked and led the first of all the Chinese empires.
Before 475, China was divided into smaller feudal territories and one such territories was governed by the Qin. The Qin, were steadfast legalists who believed strongly in the incapacity of people to rule themselves and to control themselves. Which is why they advocated and practiced the setting of rigid rules, educational campaigns to force the people to believe what they believed and a system of punishment and awarding that came into effect depending on the behavior of people. The Qin, though a strong and the first Chinese empire, did not last very long precisely because of its stringent and almost brutal principles. Another thing legalists, and especially the Qin, believed, was that the power of a ruler did not come from the election of the people, but through divine selection, which made the emperor unaccountable to anyone for his decisions and freed him from any kind of control by the people.
Finally, because the Qin strongly believed in rules and thought that rules and their upholding justified any means, they used the Mandate of Heaven to impose their ruling on the newly conquered territories and justified their power under this Mandate that people believed was sent by the gods. This is why, the correct answer would be D.
Samuel Tilden won the 1876 presidential election after a recount
Explanation:
- The 1877 compromise is unusual because it was not reached after an open debate in the US Congress. It was primarily made behind the scenes and there are hardly any written records. It emerged from a contentious presidential election that was, however, harsh with the old North vs. South problems, this time involving the last three southern states that still controlled Republican reconstruction governments.
- The timing of the treaty was prompted by the presidential election of 1876 between Democrat Samuel B. Tilden, governor of New York, and Republican Rutherford B. Hayes, governor of Ohio.
- When the votes were counted, Tilden led Hayes by one vote in the Electoral College. But Republicans accused Democrats of voting for fraud, saying they intimidated African-American voters in three southern states, Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina, and prevented them from voting, thereby defrauding Tilden's election surrender.

Answer: A. In 2019, the United States had to lower its prices on goods sold to European nations.
Explanation:
In 2019 the Euro could be exchanged for less dollars than in 2008. This means that the U.S. Dollar got stronger. As a result, U.S. goods will now be more expensive in 2019 than they were in 2008 to a person using the Euros because they would now have to pay more to get the same goods they used to get.
In order to maintain profitability therefore, the U.S. will reduce its prices in 2019 so that people using the Euro would be able to purchase goods for the cheaper prices they had been able to purchase those goods in 2008.
Answer:
A is the only logical answer
Hi there!
The Commerce Act forbade discrimination against smaller markets, and since they were a part of smaller markets, this favored the farmers. Farmers were also able to transport their produce at reasonable rates.
Hope this helps!
