Answer:

the would force lavbor and have brutal punsihments

Explanation:

The emperors of ancient China had tremendous power and responsibility. Called the 'Son of Heaven', he (and once she) was given a divine right to rule over all people but was expected to promote their best interest and not his own. An absolute monarch, although in practice dependent on an inner circle of advisors, the mystique of the emperor was enhanced by his invisibility to ordinary people, secluded as he often was in the imperial palace. To gain a personal audience with the emperor, even if he still remained hidden behind a screen while he sat on his golden dragon throne, was the highest of honours. Perhaps no other ancient ruler was ever as remote or as revered as the Emperor of China.      

Mandate of Heaven

The rulers of the Western Zhou dynasty were the first to take the traditional Chinese worship of ancestors a step further and carry the title 'Son of Heaven' (Tianzi). King Wen of the Zhou, c. 1050 BCE, claimed he, and, as it conveniently tuned out, all of his successors too, had been given the right to rule by the gods (either Heaven or Sky). This was nothing less than a Mandate of Heaven or Tianming, that is, an unchallengeable right to govern. Not actually divine but, rather, ruling on behalf of the gods on earth, the role also carried the great responsibility to take decisions for the good of the people. If he did not rule well, then China would suffer terrible disasters such as floods and droughts and he would lose the right to govern. This was also a useful explanation as to why ruling dynasties changed over the centuries: they had lost the blessing of heaven through misrule.

svlad2 [7]
<span>In the early nineteenth century, the corporate form of business organization had been used to raise large amounts of start-up capital for transportation enterprises such as turnpikes and canals. By selling stocks and bonds to raise money, the corporation separated the company’s managers, who guided its day-to-day operation, from the owners—those who had purchased the stocks and bonds as investments.

Who were the major critics of the New Deal and what were their complaints? What effect did these complaints have on the New Deal
pishuonlain [190]

Major critics & their complaints: Father Charles E. Coughlin criticized Deal for not nationalizing the banking system and providing for free silver coinage. Francis Townsend proposed the Old Age Revolving Pension (each American 60+ forced to retire to open up jobs for the younger unemployed; retirees would get monthly $200 check but they had to spend whole check within a month) but FDR rejected it, so Townsend rejected the Deal.

Effect of complaints on the New Deal: Conservatives (who criticized the New Deal for giving the government too much power and infringing on people's freedoms) controlled Supreme Court and shot down New Deal initiatives, so FDR hatched a Court Packing scheme (proposed that when a federal judge reached the age of 70 and didn't retire, the President could add another justice to the bench. This scheme would immediately enable him to appoint 6 justices to the court and do as he pleased). Conservative Democrats and Republicans charged FDR with abuse of power and rejected the plan. Conservatives went on to win the next Congressional elections and this Coalition of Southern Democrats and Republicans dominated Congress until the 60s (effectively ended the reform and overreaching spirit of the New Deal).

New Deal's impacts on women and minorities: The New Deal gave women the opportunity to hold many more federal jobs (in high positions too) and provided many employment opportunities for jobless women. The types of projects women performed in work-relief programs were just as varied and productive men's, sometimes more so. The New Deal gave women a foot in the door for more employment post-Depression. For minorities, New Deal programs had mixed impacts, especially on African Americans. While some discriminated against/hurt black Americans, others benefited black workers and their families. For example, although multiple executive orders were signed forbidding racial discrimination in federal jobs, they didn't challenged Southern racial segregation.
