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 <em>warring for territory,</em> to maintain <em>peace</em> amongst nearby countries. Also, he gave the citizens of his empire some <em>rights many previous empires restricted.</em>

1. Why were the state and national governments' powers<br>limited?<br>​
Lunna [17]

Answer:  The federal government is very strong, with much power over the states, but at the same time, it is limited to the powers enumerated in the Constitution.  Powers not delegated to the federal government, nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or to the people.  Although the powers of the federal government are limited to those enumerated in the Constitution, those enumerated powers have been interpreted very broadly.  And under the supremacy clause of the Constitution, federal law is supreme over state law.  The Constitution also limits the powers of the states in relation to one another.  Because the United States Congress has been given the power to regulate interstate commerce, the states are limited in their ability to regulate or tax such commerce between them.
