Answer: C. Legalism
Explanation: According to this doctrine, human nature as such is prone to make mistakes and negligence in adhering to some general moral principles, so it requires strong regulatory coercion. This coercion should control human behaviour through various regulations, punishments, strong rulers, in a word, for people to obey legal laws, that is, to abide by legalism. The reason for such an understanding of human nature is that humans are guided by their own self-interest and as such will always do bad rather than good. This doctrine was promoted in ancient China by rulers of the Qin and Han dynasties to justify the rule of their authoritarian rulers.
There's no document provided, I'll answer to the best of my knowledge
The abolitionist John Brown attempted to garner attention and do his part to abolish slavery by murdering three individuals who supported slavery, and later tried to host an armed uprising where he would lead slaves to raid a federal army in Harper's Ferry. The attack was unsuccessful, and he was later executed. His actions were radical, and in my opinion very misguided and would only lead to more violence.
That is my take on it, though I recommend you get your own opinion because that is a very opinionated topic.
Answer:
D) The Soviet economy was a tremendous success story; the USSR would still be together if it were not for the ethnic differences.
Explanation:
The Soviet economy was not a tremendous success, in fact, it was in many aspects a failure (although it was a success in some fields).
The other 3, true statements in the question give us a clue why:
The Soviet system benefited the center (Russia) disproportionally, leaving aside the other, peripheral republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus, The Baltics, and Eastern Europe, which were often very poor.
The Soviet system used a planned economy, instead of a market economy, and this led to many errors in the production of goods and services. Resources were often poured in unprofitable industries over more profitable ones, and the geographical location of the economic sectors often did not make sense.
Things that in a market system would likely not happen, ocurred in the soviet planned economy because the planners did not realize their mistakes.
