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.

Why is the Harlem Renaissance part of American history?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Between the 1920s and 1930s, the Harlem Renaissance was an artistic and cultural rebirth in African American music, dance, painting, fashion, literature, theatre, and politics based on Harlem, Manhattan, New York City. It was dubbed the "New Negro Movement" at the time, after The New Negro, a 1925 anthology compiled by Alain Locke. The campaign has involved emerging African-American cultural expressions in metropolitan centers throughout the Northeast and Midwest of the United States, which were influenced by a revived militancy in the general fight for civil rights for African-Americans in the aftermath of civil rights struggles in the then-still-segregated US Armed Forces in WWI and which arose in the aftermath of civil rights struggles in the then-still-segregated US Armed

The NAACP, the Garveyite movement, and the Russian Revolution were all influential, as was the Great Migration of African-American workers fleeing the racist conditions of the Jim Crow Deep South, with Harlem serving as the final destination for the majority of those who migrated north.

Though it was based in Harlem, many francophone black authors from African and Caribbean colonies who lived in Paris were also inspired by the movement, which lasted from around 1918 to the mid-1930s Formalized paraphrase Many of the concepts lasted even longer. The Harlem Renaissance was also the pinnacle of this "flowering of Negro literature," as James Weldon Johnson liked to call it.
