In the wake of the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE, Chandragupta (or Chandragupta Maurya), founder of the Mauryan dynasty, carved out the majority of an empire that encompassed most of the Indian subcontinent, except for the Tamil-speaking south. The Mauryan empire was an efficient and highly organized autocracy with a standing army and civil service. That bureaucracy and its operation were the model for the Artha-shastra (“The Science of Material Gain”), a work of political economy similar in tone and scope to Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince.

Much is known of the reign of the Buddhist Mauryan emperor Ashoka (reigned c. 265–238 BCE or c. 273–232 BCE) from the edicts inscribed on exquisitely executed stone pillars that he had erected throughout his realm. Those edicts constitute some of the oldest deciphered original texts of India. Ashoka campaigned little to expand the realm; rather, his conquest consisted of sending many Buddhist emissaries throughout Asia and commissioning some of the finest works of ancient Indian art.

The Senate bestreflected the goals of the supporters of the New Jersey Plan.
Option A
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The New Jersey Program was one way of governing the United States. Instead of the nation, the plan called for one vote by each government in Congress. On 15 June 1787 William Paterson, a New Jersey representative, presented it to the Constitutional amendment.
Perhaps most notably the Connecticut Negotiation was adopted, which created a bicameral congressional concept with the United States.
The Senate divided by population in accordance with the plan of Virginia and the Senate, in compliance with the plan of New Jersey, awarded equal votes by province.
When the agreements were made, William Paterson and other delegates from smaller countries poured themselves in front of the new Constitution. Although the New Jersey Policy of Paterson was vetoed, the debates over his plan guaranteed the US. With every country having two representatives, the Senate would be organized.
