Answer:

b. empties their minds

Explanation:

From the passage, the Sage/leader's only way to achieve harmony is by keeping the masses ignorant hence feeding them full and making sure that there are no ambitions since there is no knowledge.

Therefore, according to Laozi, Dao De Jing the masses can only stay in harmony if there is no contention( as a result of knowledge) in the aim to acquire value. For example if the people do not know that gold is valuable and worth a lot of money, there will be no contention to get gold or theft of gold.

Which of the following human rights abuses would occur in an unlimited government?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Children being forced to work because their parents upset the government.

Explanation:

Unlimited governments are those in which the central government exercises authoritarian, totalitarian and autocratic power with respect to its governed, overwhelming their civil, political and economic rights and liberties. Thus, these governments disrespect the rights of citizens, based on the power they obtain by force or by illegitimate means.

Therefore, an example of this type of action would be forcing children to work because their parents do not share the ideology of the government, violating civil and human rights, as is the case in North Korea.
