A the third estate, b the military, and c the first estate
Answer:
The most prominent leader of the Muaryan Empire, who was also the most influential, was Ashoka. At the beginning of his reign he was in the process of expanding the empire. As a result, the Muaryan's faced off with the Kalingaians. Ashoka, after having seen the death and destruction this battle brought, converted into a Buddhist. This influenced the social structure of the Mauryan by making all of the people equal. The Buddhist belief of bettering yourself and treating all others equally and fairly, broke the caste system that would later dominate in the Gupta Empire. People of almost all regions of the empire knew the Buddhist values though the several pillars Ashoka erected with the Buddhist values written on them. He built several Buddhist temples. People from all over the empire had the knowledge of Buddhist teachings.
Explanation:
The social structure of the Gupta Empire was highly influenced by religion. Hinduism divided the people of the Gupta Empire into five classes.
The highest was composed of the priest and teachers, underneath that were the rulers and warriors, then the merchants and artisans, and ending with the unskilled workers.
In order to ensure Constantinople was a splendid city Constantine built magnificent structures in his city and turned it into a great capitol. He brought people of high rank who could help the city blossom in different spheres of life. Furthermore, for better protection high walls were erected, they surrounded the entire city.
Maya kings and queens felt obliged to legitimize their claim to power. One of the ways to do this was to build a temple or pyramid. Tikal Temple I is a good example. This temple was built during the reign of Yik'in Chan K'awiil. Another king named K'inich Janaab' Pakal would later carry out this same show of power when building the Temple of Inscriptions at Palenque. The Temple of Inscriptions still towers today amid the ruins of Palenque, as the supreme symbol of influence and power in Palenque.
