X A public school teacher writes a prayer on the blackboard and asks her class to say it.
X A public school principal prays each morning on the school’s loudspeaker system.
A private school requires its teachers to lead students in prayer.
X A state passes a law requiring all schoolchildren to pray.
The constitutional situation would only be the third option, as the requirement for the teachers to lead the prayer is in a Private School.
The main issue in the Engel v. Vitale case, ruled in 1962, n°370 U.S. 421, was the separation of the church and the state, and in this situation the requirement from the private school direction to the teachers is not a violation of the establishment Clause of the First Ammendment. Justice Douglas even argued that any type of public promotion of religion, including giving financial aid to religious schools, violates the Establishment Clause, thus confirming their independence.
All others situations include public workers or resources being used to promote religion.

Answer:
The primary cause for the collapse of the Zhou dynasty was the implementation of the fengjian system, where the royal family would strengthen their authority over the other states by installing relatives as lords in the regions.
The Zhou system was unstable, having to deal with chronic warfare between the various substrates and outsiders. Over the centuries, larger substates conquered smaller ones. The worst warfare occurred during the Era of the Warring States, beginning around 500 C.E. Local dukes ignored the Zhou king and fought among themselves for supremacy. The last of the Zhou states were eventually conquered by the Qin in 221 C.E.
Explanation:
There was annual flooding, which was vital to agriculture because it deposited a new layer of nutrient-rich soil each year. In years when the Nile did not flood, the nutrient level in the soil was seriously depleted, and the chance of food shortages increased greatly. Food supplies had political effects, as well, and periods of drought probably contributed to the decline of Egyptian political unity at the ends of both the Old and Middle Kingdoms. After political unification, divine kingship, or the idea that a political ruler held his power by favor of a god or gods—or that he was a living incarnation of a god—became firmly established in Egypt. For example, in the mythology that developed around unification, Narmer was portrayed as Horus, a god of Lower Egypt, where Narmer originally ruled. He conquered Set, a god of Upper Egypt. This mythologized version of actual political events added legitimacy to the king’s rule. The use of hieroglyphics—a form of writing that used images to express sounds and meanings—likely began in this period. As the Egyptian state grew in power and influence, it was better able to mobilize resources for large-scale projects and required better methods of record-keeping to organize and manage an increasingly large state. During the Middle Kingdom, Egyptians began to write literature, as well. Some writing was preserved on stone or clay, and some was preserved on papyrus, a paper-like product made from reed fiber. Papyrus is very fragile, but due to the hot and dry climate of Egypt, a few papyrus documents have survived. Hieroglyphic writing also became an important tool for historians studying ancient Egypt once it was translated in the early 1800s.
