It was a imperial examination in Song Dynasty (later on), but in Han Confucianism was hella on, so u need dat knowledge to be in gov. A lot of goverment after Qin Dynasty (previous dynasty) was adopted. So the Emperor had all the power, and all the "jobs" cam down on familly line. So pretty much be wealthy, know confucianism, and have a father who was in the gov, or if the emporer chose u, and u must have a d!(k. Okey, just googled in wiki to be sure and it's says "the states made by the emperor were assigned to official dedication..." So I guess emperor chose the gov, but all of them had to be educated. Sooo if that helps, hard question though.
"The Republic" is one of Plato's most popular works. In it, he uses the character of Socrates to explore the role that justice plays in a society and the lives of individuals living within it. In the first two books, Socrates is given three different views on justice, which he disagrees with and tries to refute. This leads into a lengthy dialogue about the state, the individuals within it, education and the nature of all things.
I CANT PERSONAL ANSWER BUT IF YOU READ CAREFULLY THAT SHOULD HELP YOU WITH A TIP
James Madison's apprehensions about factions focused especially on the role of money and property in creating competing groups in society based on their wealth or property holdings. Landholders could be such a faction. Banking and moneylending agencies could be such a faction. They might work their will against the majority of the people. At the same time, factions could develop among the less wealthy majority of the people that would seek to strip away rights and property from the wealthiest citizens to redistribute it to those less well-off.
Madison argued that factions of any kind war against the unity of the republic. Factions consider only their own position, rather than the rights and well-being of the whole community or nation.
