Question

The system of feudalism was based upon _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) land holdings

Explanation:

The feudal system was found in agrarian societies, where it was important for people to work the land. It was based on who owned this land.

1. The top of the system would be the ruler who owned lots of lands and taxed other landowners.
2. Next, there were the lords who owned smaller estates. They would tax their workers and collect currency as well as other forms of goods.
3. These workers were serfs/peasants who owned no land and were forced to work at these estates.

So, the more land a person owned, the more money they made from products and taxes. Thus, they were higher up the hierarchy.
