1188-539: The color yellow was reserved for the emperor, as it had a multitude of meanings. Yellow was a symbol of gold, and thus wealth and power, and since it was also the color that symbolized the center in Chinese cosmology (the five elements, or wu xing(五行) ), it was the perfect way to refer to the emperor, who was always in the center of the universe. Consequently, peasants and noblemen alike were forbidden to wear robes made entirely out of yellow, although they were allowed to use

1408-645: The foundational questions that governments and politics have been designed to deal with.

"Whatever else divided the Baganda; they were united under the institution of Kabaka and derived their pride from service to

In philosophy , meta-ethics

1672-430: The regalia are by tradition only seen by the emperor and certain priests, and no known photographs or drawings exist.

1716-430: The right of a father to be respected by his son did not indicate a right of the son to receive something in return for that respect; and the divine right of kings , which permitted absolute power over subjects, did not leave much possibility for many rights for the subjects themselves.

Historically, many notions of rights were authoritarian and hierarchical , with different people granted different rights, and some having more rights than others. For instance,

In contrast, socialists see
