kumpel [21]3 years ago

The Mandate of Heaven is an ancient Chinese belief that heaven granted rulers the right to rule. A ruler was granted the right to rule based on his ability to govern well and fairly.  A ruler or emperor lost the right to rule if he did not govern well and fulfil his obligations as ruler. The Mandate of Heaven then transferred the right to rule to another person who satisfied the criteria i.e. his ability to govern well and fairly.

1. How did the Social Gospel movement influence the Civil Rights movement?<br> Civil Rights workers
AleksandrR [38]

The Social Gospel movement influenced the Civil Rights movement because it applied Christian values and ethics to social issues. Race and the color barrier between white people and black people at the time was a huge issue that this movement focused on, among other issues of course.

As you know, MLK was arguably the most influential public figure in the Civil Rights movement. In a way he was also a big part of the Social Gospel movement in the sense that he was deeply religious, and many of his ideas for social justice were rooted in Christianity.

Hope this answer helps!
