Why did the Han organize their gov the way they did?
- Leaders (Gaozu & Wudi) knew prob that Shang and Qin faced
- Shang gave land to aristocrats and they became powerful nobles who challenged emperor
- This weekend emperor
- Qin was oppressive & autocratic
- People didn't trust gov that relied on legalist ideas and what ever emperor wanted was correct
- Han distributed power to China but not based on birth, based on test
- Han- everyone followed same set of rules
- Han emperors retained control over country because they could remove officers, governors, and punished them or moved them to different areas
- Since all officers were to follow rules of Confucius, people had greater trust that gov would be more than Qin was
