HOW LEGALISM BEGAN...

Legalism was created in China by Shang Yang and was a strong belief that the Chinese government followed, yet legalism had'nt exercised over to other reigons for quite a while yet. Legalism began with strict laws that had to be obeyed by everyone, but if there was someone who did'nt follow these laws, that person would have to face the consequences with punishment. It was believed that legalism had to take place because humans were 'fundamentally base and selfish,' so legal action had to take place to basically straighten everyone out and to create an understanding that people could'nt just do whatever they please whenever they want.
