Mandate of Heaven<br />
The take over of the<br />
<strong>Zhou</strong> from the Shang<br />
was credited with<br />
the doctrine forming<br />
a Mandate of<br />
Heaven, which<br />
provided that the<br />
emperor or king<br />
ruled by divine right.<br />
If the rulers were<br />
overthrown, the<br />
Mandate of Heaven<br />
was transferred to<br />
the victors.
