In which of the following ways does source 1 differ from source 2 in terms of a ruler's legitimacy?

A. Mencius implies that the ruler needs to earn the legitimacy of his power, while Bossuet states that God anoints the ruler (maybe)

B. Bossuet states that God will withdraw legitimacy from a king who does not please his people while Mencius claims that a ruler cannot be challenged

C. Mencius states that God paves the way for a new ruler so the ruler can claim legitimacy, while Bossuet claims that there is a period of trials

D. Bossuet claims that there is a secular will behind a rulers legitimacy, while Mencius states that legitimacy comes from heaven

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Explanation:

I think the other answer is wrong. With Option B, Mencius never claims that a ruler cannot be challenged. With C, Mencius doesn't even mention God! With D, this is tricky. While Mencius does imply that Heaven is where the legitimacy arises, he also says that Heaven challenges candidates for the title of ruler. So, it's a close run between D and A, but in the end, A closes out because it's more specific. Also, the clearer reason that D is wrong is that it says that Bossuet claims that there is a secular will behind the legitimacy of a ruler, but secular means non-religious, and all Bossuet talks about is religion, so that one is kind of stupid. The passages are pasted below for reference.

Refer to the two passages.

Source 1

"Shun rose [to the empire] from among the channeled fields. Foo Yueh was called to office from the midst of his [building] frames and [earth-] beaters; Kaou Kih from his fish and salt; Kwan E-woo from the hands of the officer in charge of him; Sun Shuh-gaou from [his hiding by] the sea-shore; and Pih-le He from the market-place.

Thus, when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any one, it first exercises his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil; it exposes his body to hunger, and subjects him to extreme poverty; and it confounds his undertakings. In all these ways it stimulates his mind, hardens his nature, and supplies his incompetencies.

Men constantly err, but are afterwards able to reform. They are distressed in mind, and perplexed in thought, and then they arise to vigorous endeavour. When things have been evidenced in men’s looks, and set forth in their words, then they understand them.

If a ruler have not about his court families attached to the laws and able officers, and if abroad there are no hostile States or other external calamities, the State will generally come to ruin.”

Mencius, fourth century BCE

Source 2

"It appears from all this that the person of the king is sacred, and that it is a sacrilege to attack him. God has His prophets anoint them with a sacred unction, as He has His pontiffs and His altars anointed. But, even without the external application of this unction, their charge renders them sacred, as being the representatives of the divine majesty, delegated by His providence to the execution of His designs. It is thus that God Himself speaks of Cyrus as His anointed—‘his right hand I have holden to subdue nations before him.’ The title of Christ is given to kings; and everywhere we see them called the Christ, or the anointed of the Lord.”

Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, explaining the divine right of kings, 1678

Which of the following describes nullification?
a strong loyalty to a state or region, sometimes at the expense of a nation
the idea that states have powers separate from the federal government
the idea that a state could refuse to follow a federal law it disagreed with
a system that divides power between national and state governments

Answers

Option C is correct.

:)

The idea that a state could refuse to follow a federal law it disagreed with of the following describes nullification. Thus, option (c) is correct.

According to the legal principle known as nullification, U.S. states have the right to reject any federal laws they judge to be unconstitutional. Thomas Jefferson coined the phrase in 1798.

It is common to use the word "nullification" in a political context to mean the act of canceling something. Nullification also refers to a state's lack or refusal to assist the federal government in enforcing laws inside its borders. The concept of nullification is based on the assumption that governments have sovereign authority over their own affairs.

Therefore, option (c) is correct.

C.

D.

Answers

Answer:

Rugged, wooded terrain hindered French efforts to build large agricultural communities like those in the British colonies.

Explanation:

"Much of the land on both the north and the south shores of the St. Lawrence was heavily timbered, and the work of clearing proved tedious"

French efforts to build an agricultural community in the New France area to contribute towards a cultivable land in one of its Colony like the British was largely limited due to the topographic features of the landmass. They were encouraged to clear wooden terrain, especially timber to make it a productive landmass. However, most of the efforts went in vain even after half a century of settlement due to the conditions and their desire to make New France one of the most productive agricultural community failed.

o lt led to increased inflation in Spain.
0 It increased demand for Spanish slaves.
0 It led to an increase in immigration from the Americas.

Answers

Answer:

It led to increased inflation in Spain.

Explanation:

During the second half of the 15th century, Precious metals (especially gold and silver) was used to as a commodity money that is used as a medium of exchange.

As more and more precious metal was sent from Americas to Spain, The value of that precious metal as a medium of exchange weakened. (since more people have the commodity money, but the amount of goods that can be bought in Spain did not increased)

This led to the increase of inflation in Spain. The price of goods massively increase since there are more people have commodity money to afford it. This led to an event which later known as the Spanish price revolution.
