Instructions: Cite or paraphrase evidence from each of the five sources (I will include that in a separate document,) that answer the four questions listed in each area (Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism.)

Remember to use all scholars works and identify them in your citation.

Confucianism-
1. How important is law to the state?
