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.

The correct answer is B) Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act

This historic legislation was signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. The goal of this law was to ensure fair treatment in the marketplace for African-American citizens, women, and several other groups of people in American society. This law still affects American society today, as generally businesses with more than 15 employees are still bound by law to follow this act.

Answer:

Explanation:

A widening gap between the rich and the poor is the condition that contributed to eventual downfall of the republic

As Rome grew, the gap between rich and poor grew wider. Many of Rome´s rich landowners lived on huge estates. Thousands of enslaved persons—many of whom had been captured peoples in various wars—were forced to work on these estates. Small farmers found it difficult to compete with the large estates run by the labor of enslaved people. Many of these farmers were former soldiers. A large number of them sold their land to wealthy landowners and became homeless and jobless.

Two brothers, Tiberius and Gaius attempted to help Rome´s poor. As tribunes they proposed such reforms as limiting the size of estates and giving land to the poor.

Rome's increasingly wealth and expanding boundaries brought many problems. The most serious were growing discontent among the lower classes of society and a breakdown in military order. These problems led to a shake of the republic and the emergence of a new political system
