What is the Mandate of Heaven?

How is it similar to the way other rulers were chosen
in ancient times?

PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:Under the Zhou Dynasty, China moved away from worship of Shangdi (“Celestial Lord”) in favor of worship of Tian (“heaven”), and they created the Mandate of Heaven. According to this idea, there could be only one legitimate ruler of China at a time, and this ruler reigned as the “Son of Heaven” with the approval of the gods. If a king ruled unfairly he could lose this approval, which would result in his downfall. Overthrow, natural disasters, and famine were taken as a sign that the ruler had lost the Mandate of Heaven.The Mandate of Heaven did not require a ruler to be of noble birth, and had no time limitations. Instead, rulers were expected to be good and just in order to keep the Mandate. The Zhou claimed that their rule was justified by the Mandate of Heaven. In other words, the Zhou believed that the Shang kings had become immoral with their excessive drinking, luxuriant living, and cruelty, and so had lost their mandate. The gods’ blessing was given instead to the new ruler under the Zhou Dynasty, which would rule China for the next 800 years.The need for the Zhou to create a history of a unified China is also why some scholars think the Xia Dynasty may have been an invention of the Zhou. The Zhou needed to erase the various small states of prehistoric China from history, and replace them with the monocratic Xia Dynasty in order for their Mandate of Heaven to seem valid (i.e., to support the claim that there always would be, and always had been, only one ruler of China).The Zhou ruled until 256 BCE, when the state of Qin captured Chengzhou. However, the Mandate of Heaven philosophy carried on throughout ancient China.

Which of these objects would travel the farthest distance if you gave the same push force to each. a A boulder weighing 100 kg b A bowling ball weighing 6 kg c A softball weighing 1 kg d A tennis ball weighing 1/3 kg.

Answers

Answer:

The object that would travel the farthest distance if you gave the same push force to each is:

D. a tennis ball weighing 1/3 kg.

Explanation:

There are three elements to consider here: force, mass, and acceleration. The instructions let us know that the push force is supposed to be the same for each object. Now, to find each object's acceleration, we must divide the force by the mass of the object. That means the higher the mass, the lowest the number we will get as a result. The lower the mass, the higher the number for acceleration. Having that in mind, and knowing that the object with the lowest mass is the tennis ball with a third of a kilogram, we can choose letter D as the correct option.

Answer:

Your in 7th grade because I learned this already

Explanation:

The Elastic Clause, also known as the “Necessary and Proper Clause,” is perhaps the most important clause in the U.S. Constitution, though it is also the most controversial. The Clause gives Congress the authority to use powers not explicitly named in the Constitution, if they are necessary in order to perform its responsibilities as outlined in the Constitution. In other words, Congress may do whatever is “necessary and proper” to do its job. To explore this concept, consider the following Elastic Clause definition.

The elastic clause in the US Constitution expands the powers of Congress. It is found in Article I, section 8 of the Constitution and is also referred to as the "necessary and proper" clause.

Bunker Hill and Trenton

Explanation:

The Battle Of Bunker Hill (also called Battle of Breed’s Hill) was also another loss to the colonies, The battle started on June 17, 1775, William Prescott was the general at the time and he was the commander against the attack and sent 1,200 troops this time. Even with a lot of troops this time, they only lost because they ran out of ammunition to supply the miltia at the 3rd wave of the battle. The British also suffered extensively loss, but not this time to the colonists.

The Battle of Trenton took place in Trenton, New Jesery in December 26, 1776. General George Washington was planning a attack on a fort, crossing the famous Delaware River. This was important because this was one of the very few battles at the time that was won by the colonists.

what penalty did children of russian nobles face if they did not learn mathematics? (in a paragraph)​

Answers

Answer:

If a child of a Russian noble didn't learn mathematics, that child was not allowed to marry. The Great Sovereign at that time, Peter I, decreed in 1699 that the New Year's celebration switch to January 1 from September 1. He also decreed that children between 10 and 15 had to learn mathematics in order to get married. This didn't apply to children of freeholders and government clerks. After children mastered math, they were given marriage certificates written in their own handwriting. If they didn't master the subject, they weren't allowed to be given these certificates, and thus, couldn't marry.
