Answer: The Zhou Dynasty

Explanation: Zhou Dynasty overthrew the Shang Dynasty and used the Mandate of Heaven as justification.

The Zhou created the Mandate of Heaven: the idea that there could be only one legitimate ruler of China at a time, and that this ruler had the blessing of the gods. They used this Mandate to justify their defeat of the Shang, and its subsequent rule.

Some scholars think that the previous Xia Dynasty never existed - that it was invented by the Zhou to support their claim under the Mandate that there was always only one ruler of China.

Answer:

It was used by the Catholic Church and in academic settings.

Explanation:

Latin was for 20 centuries the official language of the Church. Academic writing and research was published in Latin. Masses were said in Latin, despite the fact that only the clergy and the best educated people (very few people during the Middle Ages) were the only ones who could speak and understand it. It was only in the second half of the 20th century that the Roman Catholic Church authorized masses in the local and national languages of each country.
