PLEASE HELP What is the term used to define a family that rules over a country for an
extended period of time?

1. Kings
2. Family of Rulers
3. Dynasty
4. Mandate of Heaven

a. would be the answer : )

explanation:

either b) they were often feared and despised by other native cultures. or

c) their obsession allowed them to coexist with many other native cultures because of their peaceful nature.

the correct answer option is: weapons.

explanation:

tensions rose as the two opposing superpowers competed for 'weapons'.

referring to the cold war (1945-1991), the two superpowers, usa and ussr, experienced a phase of struggle and conflict with each other. these two superpowers considered each other as a threat to their survival and thus opted for policies to strengthen their positions.

the two superpowers never went to war with each other directly but competed for weapons to preserve their positions.

majority rule is most important in a representative democracy.
