Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Dynasties could lose the Mandate of Heaven if the emperor was not popular with the people, and could be overthrown and replaced with a new dynasty and emperor who had the Mandate of Heaven. Rivaling dynasties used the Mandate of Heaven as a way to justify the political unrest the rivalries brought.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Mandate of Heaven in Action Zhou leaders claimed that the Shang emperors had become corrupt and unfit, so Heaven demanded their removal. When Zhou authority crumbled in turn, there was no strong opposition leader to seize control, so China descended into the Warring States Period (c. 475-221 B.C.E.).
