Feudal Japanese and European societies were built on a system of hereditary classes

. The nobles were at the top, followed by warriors, with tenant farmers or serfs below. There was very little social mobility; the children of farmers became farmers, while the children of lords became lords and ladies. (One prominent exception to this rule in Japan was Toyotomi Hideyoshi

, born a farmer's son, who rose to rule over the country.) Also, i

n both feudal Japan and Europe, constant warfare made warriors the most important class. Called "knights

" in Europe and "samurai

" in Japan, the warriors served local lords. In both cases, the warriors were bound by a code of ethics. Knights were supposed to hew to the concept of

chivalry, while samurai were bound by the precepts ofbushido

, or "the Way of the Warrior."

What are some differences between Feudalism and Democracy?

Well obviously Democracy is where everyone is even in society whether you're a man or woman, rich or poor. Democracy is where every citizen of that country should be able to have a say. Feudalism is basically a social hierarchy. There are levels of how much a person gets to have a say on things, depending on their financial status and gender. Here are some differences, I have listed them below. I really hope this helps! - Feudalism restrains the amount of how much a person gets a say on something depending on their financial status, whereas in a Democracy, everyone is given the same amount of how much they get a say in something. - Feudalism gives the ones at the bottom of the social hierarchy, a hard life. But, once again, in a Democracy, you can get supported so that you have as good as a life as everyone else. - Feudalism gives minimal freedom to people who aren't rich, Democracy allows everyone to have the same amount of freedom whether you're poor or rich. - Feudalism is not a good thing! Democracy is a way better way of society. - Feudalism is not very commonly used in societies and countries today. A Democracy system is mostly used around the majority of places in the world. So these are only some differences, I hope this helps you! If this answer helped you, please help me and click 'recommend' and make me a recommended answerer! Thanks (:
