Political Thinkers of The Tokugawa Period

I have a discussion due. It’s a very easy discussion. 3 paragraphs would be enough. + TWO REPLIES. I will send two students posts and I need a paragraph long reply to each. the replies are due a day later, so only the discussion will be done in three hours.
