it provided a way for foreign traders to enter the chinese territory to bring much needed goods

The correct answer is - it provided a way for his armies, as well as merchants and diplomats, to travel efficiently and quickly from the capital.

Shi Huangdi wanted his country to be well connected in order of it to function more properly, everything to be done quicker and more efficiently. He decided that a massive road system should be built in ancient China in order for the people, goods, ideas, technology, military can move freely and much quickly.

In his mind, and he was not wrong, this road system would have improved China's economy and development and it actually did. The road network was connecting the capital to any other important place in the country, while the smaller places were connected with the more important regional centers. This led to quicker movement of the people, goods, the trade increased and was much quicker, the diplomats were able to move more quickly, and so did the merchants.

answer is :

many churches split during the movement.

new religions grew in popularity.

athenian democracy developed around the fifth century bc in the greek city-state (known as a polis) of athens, comprising the city of athens and the surrounding territory of attica, and is often described as the first known democracy in the world. other greek cities set up democracies, most following the athenian model, but none are as well documented as athens'.

it was a political system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. participation was not open to all residents: to vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, i.e., not a foreign resident, a submissive or a woman, and the number of these was "probably no more than 30 percent of the total adult population."[1]

the longest-lasting democratic leader was pericles. after his death, athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions towards the end of the peloponnesian war. it was modified somewhat after it was restored under eucleides; the most detailed accounts of the system are of this fourth-century modification rather than the periclean system. democracy was suppressed by the macedonians in 322 bc. the athenian institutions were later revived, but how close they were to a real democracy is debatable. solon (594 bc), cleisthenes (508/7 bc), and ephialtes (462 bc) contributed to the development of athenian democracy. cleisthenes broke up the power of the nobility by organizing citizens into ten groups based on where they lived rather than on their wealth.
