made decisions as a group, and had the power to elect other political officials. They did not

ways. For example, officials in the Senate would nominate their sons for public offices. Han
China was similar in this specific way– their dynasties were basically a way to pass power down
through the generations of a specific family. Another political similarity between the two

A new code of law was devised and applied to all citizens equally, regardless of rank.Conscription was devised; Males between seventeen years old and sixty years old was to serve one year in the army.Endless labor in the later years of Qin Shi Huang's reign provoked even more widespread discontent amongst the populace. However, the emperor was able to maintain stability due to his tight grip on every aspect of the lives of the Chinese people. The extent of this harsh rule was finally ended a few years after the First Emperor's death, in which the Qin Dynasty was overthrown, and Han Dynasty succeeded.. The new dynasty uplifted some of the harsh laws that was set by the Qin Dynasty, thus making the populace happy once more.

So their solution to this was to increase the trade with the west. In order to improve the safety of the trade routes, Han government extended the Great Wall and built the Jade Gate west of Dunhuang, and then set up several garrison stations in the north western frontiers.

This is a field of chemistry called polymer mechanochemistry. Creating models of star polymers on a 2-D plain, it was understood that using mechanical force on the bonds, it breaks the polymer chain, generating a spontaneous response. Other results as followed when changing the physical force are the change of color (stretching) and the effect of the
