The point of Confucianism is to treat each others with respect, and love each other and be rewarded with good things. Legalism says that everyone is bad and should be controlled and given harsh punishments. They are completely different. I think that maybe Confucius and Han Fei Zi were enemies. Their opinions are completely different, and its only logical that they argued a lot and fought each other to prove each others ideas were better. I am not completely sure, but it IS a possibility. In Confucianism, the people are good and avoid bad things. In Legalism, People are tyrants and stupid. Confucians repress bad things, and get rewarded. Legalists do bad things, and get punished. Complete opposites

Maintaining Order
In order for a leader to maintain order, he/she has to know how to stay calm and control his/herself. If a leader does not know how to stay calm, he/she will not be able to be a leader, especially in hard times. A leader also needs to be able to make good, smart, and very strong choices. He/She needs to make decisions that will be good for the civilization. IF not, then the civilization will get otu of order. The most important part is to make laws. Laws tell people what they cannot do, which is also telling them what they can do. It is stronger than words, because with laws, there are punishments.
