Answer:Under the Zhou Dynasty, China moved away from worship of Shangdi (“Celestial Lord”) in favor of worship of Tian (“heaven”), and they created the Mandate of Heaven. According to this idea, there could be only one legitimate ruler of China at a time, and this ruler reigned as the “Son of Heaven” with the approval of the gods. If a king ruled unfairly he could lose this approval, which would result in his downfall. Overthrow, natural disasters, and famine were taken as a sign that the ruler had lost the Mandate of Heaven.The Mandate of Heaven did not require a ruler to be of noble birth, and had no time limitations. Instead, rulers were expected to be good and just in order to keep the Mandate. The Zhou claimed that their rule was justified by the Mandate of Heaven. In other words, the Zhou believed that the Shang kings had become immoral with their excessive drinking, luxuriant living, and cruelty, and so had lost their mandate. The gods’ blessing was given instead to the new ruler under the Zhou Dynasty, which would rule China for the next 800 years.The need for the Zhou to create a history of a unified China is also why some scholars think the Xia Dynasty may have been an invention of the Zhou. The Zhou needed to erase the various small states of prehistoric China from history, and replace them with the monocratic Xia Dynasty in order for their Mandate of Heaven to seem valid (i.e., to support the claim that there always would be, and always had been, only one ruler of China).The Zhou ruled until 256 BCE, when the state of Qin captured Chengzhou. However, the Mandate of Heaven philosophy carried on throughout ancient China.
The main effects of the Great Awakening on the Colonies were the formation of a new religion movement and an increase of interest in religious matters. This religious movement also had an impact on the political and cultural spheres.

Answer:
The two social classes of ancient Rome were made up of patricians and plebeians.
Explanation:
Patricians were the upper class of Ancient Rome. They claimed to be descendants of the families who founded Rome or who settled there shortly after it was founded. As a consequence of their antiquity in the Roman nation, as well as their status of being original from Rome and not from conquered or annexed peoples, the Patricians originally held most of the political and economic power in Ancient Rome. Thus, they practically controlled to their pleasure the decisions of the Senate, and they handled the appointments of the consuls and other positions of power. This was so until the outbreak of the Patrician-Plebeian War, which ended up granting equality to both social classes through Lex Hortensia in 287 BC.
For their part, the Plebeians were Roman citizens who had civil rights under Roman law, but who had no political power or strategic economic importance. Some of them owned land, inherited from their ancestors, but had no greater wealth than some businesses. They were the lowest free class in Ancient Rome, only above slaves and free non-citizens.
