Yes, during the Elizabethan era, the rich held significant power over the poor. The social hierarchy was rigid, with nobility and wealthy landowners exerting control over economic resources and political decisions. The poor often faced limited opportunities and were subject to the whims of the wealthy, who could influence laws and local governance. This disparity was further exacerbated by the lack of social mobility and the prevalence of laws that favored the interests of the upper classes.

When does the rich have power over the poor in The Pearl?

In John Steinbeck's book, the Pearl, the rich have power over the poor when they are able to manipulate the buying price of the pearl. They have tons of money, and yet they still try to take advantage of the poor by giving them way less than they deserve. The poor folk can't change that at all, and so they are forced to either sell the pearl for that price or not at all. This catch 22, so to speak, is when the rich have power over the poor.


Was Roman democracy true democracy?

No, the rich people wanted to get rid of the kings so they decided to get rid of them, but they couldn't do it on their own, so they decided to get the poor men to do it for them. But the poor men wanted something in return, so the rich people said ok, if you fight for us we wil give you power, so the poor men said yes to the rich people and they went to fight. When the fight was over and the poor men had won, the poor men went to ask for their power but instead the rich people didn't want to give them any power. And blah blah blah.

Is everyone poor in India?

Not at all. However, the spread between rich and poor is much more pronounced. In the USA or UK or Canada, there are rich people and poor people but generally the rich are reasonably rich and the poor still usually have a roof over their heads, or, even if homeless, are able not to starve because of a welfare state. However, in India the rich tend to be very very rich, whilst the poor are very very poor - and there are a lot more poor people than in western countries, so, on average, India can be thought of as a poor country although there are many living there who are very rich.
