Question

To what extent did these four early modern states face similar problems and devise similar solutions? How did they differ? In particular, how did the rulers of these states deal with subordinates? How did they use violence? What challenges to imperial authority did they face?

Solution

Verified

To begin with, all the rulers wanted to feel closer to their people and of the issues that was an obstacle to achieving that were problems that incompetent officials and/or those officials that abused the law. In writing of Jahangir we can read different rules how officials must act and what actions are strictly prohibited. In the “Turkish letters”, it is stated that “If a man be dishonest, or lazy, or careless, he remains at the bottom of the ladder, an object of contempt”. Also, in my opinion, rulers wanted for their subordinates to act accordingly. In the “Chronicles of Inca”, a writer stated that the Incas had people whose jobs were to punish those wrongdoers.
