Answer:

The Mandate of Heaven (Tianming), also known as Heaven's Mandate, was the divine source of authority and the right to rule of China's early kings and emperors. The ancient god or divine force known as Heaven or Sky had selected this particular individual to rule on its behalf on earth.

The Zhou created the Mandate of Heaven: the idea that there could be only one legitimate ruler of China at a time, and that this ruler had the blessing of the gods. They used this Mandate to justify their overthrow of the Shang, and their subsequent rule.

Explanation:

The Mandate either said or implied three major things. (1) The right to rule is granted by the gods. This gave the ruler religious power. (2) The right to rule is only granted if the ruler cares about his people more than he cares about himself.

The Spanish-American War resulted from an attempt to enforce the principles expressed by which of these? A) The Declaration of I
irakobra [83]

The correct answer is D. The Spanish-American War resulted from an attempt to enfoce the principles expressed by the Monroe Doctrine.

The Monroe Doctrine, synthesized in the phrase "America for the Americans", was elaborated by John Quincy Adams and attributed to President James Monroe in 1823. It established that any European intervention in America would be seen as an act of aggression that would require intervention of the United States. The doctrine was presented by President Monroe during his sixth State of the Union Address. It was taken with doubts, at first, and then with enthusiasm. It was a decisive moment in the foreign policy of the United States. The doctrine was conceived by its authors, especially John Quincy Adams, as a proclamation by the United States of its opposition to colonialism in response to the threat posed by the monarchical restoration in Europe and the Holy Alliance after the Napoleonic wars.

How did the weather affect the building of the Panama Canal?
Anettt [7]
The weather affected the building of the Panama Canal quite negatively because the hot, humid weather made the work exhausting. The workers had to take long pauses until it was suitable for them to work again, because it was scorching hot in Panama so that no work could be done. This greatly slowed the process of building the Panama Canal because the workers didn't have the required conditions under which to work properly.
