History

The right answer is:

A line of hereditary Shang rulers were heirs over control of northern China, and Shang troops fought wars with neighboring peoples and nomadic herdsmen from inner ancient China.

Shang kings also asserted their social supremacy by acting as high priests of society and leading the bone divination ceremonies. As the oracle bone texts reveal, the Shang kings were viewed as qualified members of society to offer sacrifices to their royal ancestors and to the god, Di.

Di, in their beliefs was responsible for the rain, wind, and thunder.

This is how Shang kings maintained their power over such vast territory and large population.

I would argue that, on the one hand, it was due to the fact that they were able to preserve the supremacy of its military, thanks, in part, to the development of innovative weapons, some of them made out of bronze, such as bronze-tipped halberds and spears, the compound bow, and the horse-drawn chariot, which allowed soldiers to move faster and with more agility, and their leaders to cover greater distances in order to supervise their troops and issue orders - warfare was essential for the Shang. On the other hand, it was also due to the fact that theirs was a very stratified government, with multiple and specialized positions that, together with the use of writing, allowed them to rule a large population and oversee a vast territory and its natural and material resources very ​efficiently.

Romashka [77]
One way in which President Andrew Johnson and President Bill Clinton are similar is that both were 4. acquitted by the Senate after being impeached. Andrew Johnson was impeached after removing his Secretary of War from office, breaking a law which stated the President could not remove Secretaries from the Cabinet without Congressional approval. Bill Clinton was impeached after it was discovered he lied under oath; when asked if he had had intimate relations with a White House aide, Monica Lewinsky, he stated "no," but then it was discovered that was false. However, both remained President because neither were found guilty by the Senate.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is all of the above.

Explanation:

The progressives of the early 20th century wanted among other things:

  • To increase democracy - they promoted women's suffrage out of a religious motivation. They thought that women would vote purely on a moral basis.
  • To attain social justice - the progressives were worried about corruption, poverty, and malnutrition. They impulsed the creation of the FDA, and sought the removal from office of corrupted officials who they thought, caused poverty by being inefficient and committing crimes such as embezzlement.
