Reflection: Ch 3 Documents

In the Roman Empire had a century of autocratic but generally but benevolent rule. In Rome, Aristides delivered to the imperial court in front of the emperor. The Roman Empire had a combination of democracy and aristocracy. In the Chinese Empire was ruled by a single emperor who mediated between heave and the human realm. In The Writing of Master Han Fei it talks about how the country was weak if the people would not follow the rules. But if people were to listen then country would be strong. they had to follow the law of the country. The Indian Empires followed the rules from his emperor Ashoka. It seemed more as a teachings of life. In The Rock Edicts says" Beloved-of-the -Gods thinks that even those who do wrong should be forgiven where forgiveness is possible" These to me seem like teachings, ways that people should live. If I had to choose were to live I would chose the Roman empire because it had a combination of democracy and aristocracy, because I would not like to live in a country were one person has all the power.
