The answer is: A.) He was more lenient and was guided by Confucian ideals.
- Unlike the government methods used by Qin, which included harsh punishment for those who disagreed with him to the extent to which an individual could be put to death simply by suggesting another way to do things, the methods used by Liu Bang included the <u>abolition of the harsh law of the Qin Dynasty</u> and establishing a new one that was supported by the people. Liu took a series of measures that were <u>good for his people</u> as well, such as the reduction of field taxes levied on the peasants.
- Another difference is that, while Qin was a legalist (basically someone who believes that people are bad so it is necessary to control every minute of their lives), Liu Bang promoted Confucianism as the dominant political ideology, in which it is believed that a good government should rule by virtue and moral example rather than by punishment or force.
Regarding the other options:
- Option B.) He banned books and executed scholars who protested: Qin, and not Liu Bang, banned Confucianism along with all other schools that were against his own ideals. Freedom of speech was banned, and Quin ordered the burning of the books that critized him along with people that did so.
- C.) He divided up the power among several states: Qin, and once again not Bang, divided his empire into 36 provinces. Each had two government officials in charge of it. He implemented this measure so that he could control every citizen.
- D.) He banned all trade with cultures outside of China: China's natural barriers in the east, south, and west, protected her from invasion. But Qin wanted to reinforce China's protection from the Mongol tribe to the north. Therefore, Qin ordered his people to build The Great Wall, so the people couldn't trade with foreign cultures either.
The adoption of the metric systemis a discussion that starts around the late 19th century, as it became necessary to have a standarized measuring system around the globe. In fact, in 1875, United States signed the <em>Treaty of the Meter, </em>an international treaty signed by other 16 countries in which thet accepted the commitment of adopting the metric system, originated in France, creating the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. Since then, all the American customary measurements such as pund, quart and foot among others have been converted to the metric system.
In 1960, the metric system was updated and countries such as the United Kingdom, started a transition to the metric system, and in 1968 there was a comission in United States,responsible for researching on the implementation of this system, which was concluded after 3 years with a report called "<em>A Metric America: A Decesion Whose Time Has Come" . </em>The result of this,was the awareness of the need to make official the metric system, and so the Metric Conversion Act was passed in 1975.
According to this Act,the public education system would be responsible for teaching the use of the metric system, which afterwards, was not really developed.
Robert might say, that due to the commercial leadership of the United States, there was not a real need to use the metric system,as other countries would actually understand and use it, and so there wasn´t a real practical obligation to oficially convert into the metric system, that´s why this discussion was and not actually important during the following years.
