Answer:

Daoism was a philosophy of universal harmony that urged its practitioners not to get too involved in worldly affairs. Legalism is a theory of autocratic, centralized rule and harsh penalties.

Step-by-step explanation:

Beliefs of Taoism:

Taoists believe people are not good or bad

Taoists believe people need to be in tune with nature

Taoists believe people do not need to argue or to be persuaded

Taoists believe in a simple life so you can be yourself

Beliefs of Legalists

Legalists believe in strict laws

Legalists believe in harsh punishment

Legalists believe in firm management and tight control.

Legalists believe these things are needed because people are naturally bad.
