Answer 1

Answer: The answer is:

Confucius work for the government is not clear.It is said that in his late 40s and early 50s Confucius served first as a magistrate, then as an assistant minister of public work and later as a minister of justice.

His beliefs were that people could be taught to behave properly to one another bringing order and peace.

Confucius left the country because he wanted to find another feudal state to which he could render his service.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though Confucius was disappointed because he couldn't reach the political position he wanted, his teaching impacted the civil service. Before jobs were given to the sons of important people. After his ideas were in place, any male could hold a government job based on merit (how well they did the job).

Answer 2

Confucius was a Chinese teacher, politician and a very important philosopher who shaped the Chinese culture and human history as a whole. According to him, family was the basis for a good and ideal government. He did NOT believe in democracy; he thought that masses didn't have the intellect to choose their own leader to make good decisions for themselves. Although he supported monarchy, he also supported that the power of the leaders should be limited and those who led should do so correctly by example (neither force nor punishment would be needed). Since he made too many enemies within the state, he left the State of Lu without resigning and not being able to return as long as Viscount Di Huan lived.
