The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Arthur Young states that there is a great difference between the “lower people” in England and France. Who does he blame for that difference?
He blamed the government of France. Why? Because it oppressed the French people and forced them to pay heavy taxation. That is why the woman had a sad wrinkled face that reflected pain and desperation.
The life of the woman Arthur Young met was of poverty, suffering, pain, and despair. She was a very poor woman like many French people from the Third State. In comparison, the lives of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and other members of the First and Second Estates were full of unnecessary luxuries and flamboyant styles, when the people of France were starving. That is why the French Revolution started, for the many injustices and poverty, while the French crown lived a luxurious life.
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.
