Read the excerpt about good government written by Confucius and answer the question. When a prince's personal conduct is correct
, his government is effective without the issuing of orders. If his personal conduct is not correct, he may issue orders, but they will not be followed. Some East Asian governments are built on the principles of Confucius. Based on this excerpt, which statement about the leaders of those governments is MOST LIKELY correct
Based on this passage, East Asian leaders behave correctly and for that reason, they are respected.
We can arrive at this answer because:
Many East Asian governments based themselves on the teachings of Confucius.
For this reason, the leaders of this government also followed these teachings as the basis for their activities as leaders.
If Confucius asserted that only leaders with good personal conduct would be respected by their subjects, East Asian leaders who followed these teachings should maintain good personal conduct.
In this case, we can see that these leaders were concerned about always acting correctly and having morally accepted behaviors in society, to prevent them from being disrespected by their people.
