	Xunzi (Hsün Tzu) [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The ruler could lose his state through failing in his duties as a sovereign, but he could not be replaced at the whim of the people.
		The lowest is the ruler who relies on military power to expand his territory, taxes excessively without regard for whether his people have enough to sustain themselves, and keeps them in line with laws and punishments.
		In Confucian thought, the most important role of the ruler is that of moral example, which is why the best government was that of a sage who followed the ritual principles of the Way.

		As the political conditions deteriorated, philosophers and strategists vied to convince the rulers of the various states of their program to bring order to the land.

		In many chapters, the text seems to be addressing the ruler or the ruling elite, explaining to them the ideal government of the Daoist sage.
