Under feudalism, who was directly responsible for protecting the people? a. the shogun b. the emperor c. the daimyo d. the kami

From the start of Japanese civilization until 1185 the emperor used to rule all Japan.  An emperor was similar to a king, but in Japan he was also a religious leader. The emperor started to lose power in a series of wars. A civil war broke out in 1336 that ended the real power of the emperor.  The emperor sent armies of  samurai to fight the civil war for him, and when they returned he gave the title Shogun to the leader of the army. This idea of the Emperor had the goal of not giving the chance to the Samurai leader to be considered as emperor.  This began a new form of control in Japan, where the leaders of different armies controlled smaller pieces of land, rather than one emperor controlling everything--this is usually called Feudal control (Feudalism).

So the answer to this question is:

A. the shogun

the caste system in india is the paradigmatic ethnographic example of caste. it has origins in ancient india, and was transformed by various ruling elites in medieval, early-modern, and modern india, especially the mughal empire and the british raj.it is today the basis of educational and job reservations in india.it consists of two different concepts, varna and jati, which may be regarded as different levels of analysis of this system.

the caste system as it exists today is thought to be the result of developments during the collapse of the mughal era and the british colonial regime in india. the collapse of the mughal era saw the rise of powerful men who associated themselves with kings, priests and ascetics, affirming the regal and martial form of the caste ideal, and it also reshaped many apparently casteless social groups into differentiated caste communities.the british raj furthered this development, making rigid caste organisation a central mechanism of administration
