Detailed explanation-1: -Confucianism also envisions a society based on a hierarchical system in which each individual’s role is determined by his or her position in society, as well as by familial and personal relationships. Within the family unit, all individuals fall within a rigid hierarchy.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two reasons for this. First, a merit-based social hierarchy can allow people at the top to make the right decisions for the moral well-being of morally inferior persons. Second, it is necessary for establishing social distinctions that are instrumental for the moral cultivation of the people at the bottom.
Detailed explanation-3: -Confucianism became the dominant political philosophy during the Han Dynasty from 206 B.C.E. to 220 C.E. Because Confucian teachings were conservative and told people to maintain their role in social order, the philosophy was used by the state to keep the status quo from that time forward.
