Ashoka, or Ashoka the Great, was an Indian Emperor of the Maurya Dynasty. Ashoka ruled from around 268 to 232 BC. He is especially known for promoting the spread of Buddhism.

Ashoka's accomplishments also reflect Buddhist ideals. On of the most significant was his change in the relationship between government and religion. Ashoka replaced the traditional idea of divine rule with that of a "Buddhist kingship." He legitimised his rule not by claiming a divine origin, but by earning the approval of the Buddhist monks. This strenghten the ties between the state and the religious elite.

Ashoka also tried to spread Buddhism through the implementation of religious conferences, intellectual monasteries and the writing of sacred texts. These actions not only spread Buddhism all over Asia, but contributed to the spread of secular culture.

Finally, he also introduced laws for promoting animal welfare and maintained peaceful relations with other kingdoms in the Indian subcontinent.

Asoka decided, instead of warring for territory, to maintain peace amongst nearby countries. Also, he gave the citizens of his empire some rights many previous empires restricted.

A. The Chesapeake and New England regions had many differences in development, but they also had similarities.

Kisachek [45]

A thesis statement that would not be acceptable is B. The Chesapeake and New England colonies developed into two distinct societies based on their geography, reasons for founding, economic characteristics, and relationships with American Indians.

You did not include the prompt in the question but the above should be the best answer.

The New England Colonies and the Chesapeake colonies were different in that:

New England colonies were founded to escape religious persecution while the Chesapeake colonies were founded to make profit
New England colonies engaged in shipping, food production and lumbering whereas the Chesapeake colonies focused on tobacco.

Even though they were different in the above regard, their treatment of Native Americans was the same as they both started off with peaceful relations with the Natives which eventually deteriorated into war.

We can therefore conclude that even though they differed in several ways, they did not differ in Native treatment which would make option B wrong.
