Lacked status and poor conditions--Tokugawa Japan was a feudal system where commoners were unable to work up or gain status in the country. 

Tokugawa Japan was a period of military rule in Japan where land owners and samurai had power and control in the country. Peasants and merchants were taxed heavily and were unable to work up in the system. 

Merchants were particularly attacked during the Tokugawa rule as they represented western culture and influence. The shogun isolated Japan and close the borders so western influence could not change the Japanese system. This would stay this way until the 1800s when Japan would bring in a new government which would be merchant-focused.

Answer:

The Tokugawa government affected ordinary people in Japan as follows:

The population was divided into four classes: the samurai at the top (about 5% of the population), the villagers or farmers (more than 80% of the population) at the second level. Below the villagers were the craftsmen, and below these, on the fourth level, the merchants. Only the villagers lived in rural areas. Samurais, artisans and merchants lived in cities that were built around the daimyo castles, each having a specific part of the city to reside. Although this was the social division determined, in practice the social situation was somewhat different. Merchants were usually the richest class and sometimes the samurai were in debt to stay on top and compete with merchants.

Explanation:

The Tokugawa government was a period in the history of Japan that was ruled by the Tokugawa shoguns from March 1603 to May 1868, established by Tokugawa Leyasu (the first shogun of this era) in the then city of Edo (present-day Tokyo) three years after the battle of Sekigahara.

The Tokugawa period (1600-1867) left a vital trading sector in the expanding urban centers, a relatively well-educated elite (albeit with limited knowledge of European science), a sophisticated government bureaucracy, productive agriculture, a unified country with financial systems and of developed markets, and a national highway infrastructure. The growth of industry during the Meiji period to the point where Japan aspired to be a world power was an important prelude to postwar growth from 1955 to 1973 and provided a pool of experienced workers after World War II.

If you were a US civilian living during World War II, which government action would have influenced your everyday life most?
trasher [3.6K]
If i were a US civilian living during World War II, the rationing of materials to support the war effort would be the government action that would have influenced my everyday life the most. The correct option in regards to the given question is option "D". Rationing of materials would definitely create a shortage of regularly needed materials in the market. This would be a hard thing to accept. Since we all live our daily life in a fixed pattern, it is difficult to adjust to any kind of curtails. This shortage can always lead to a higher rate for buying those restricted materials and thus my income could seem less than before as the cost of buying gets increased.

Why was self sufficiency important to a country practicing mercantilism?
inna [77]
Early mercantilism meant primarily aiming to reduce imports. This issue is related mainly to articles of luxury. The mercantilists believed fact that the foundation of the wealth of the state is a positive trade balance - the dominance of exports over imports.
