what are the various types of administration in manusmriti
Answers
Answer:
The Manusmṛiti (Sanskrit: मनुस्मृति),[1] is an ancient legal text among the many Dharmaśāstras of Hinduism.It was one of the first Sanskrit texts to have been translated into English in 1776, by Sir William Jones,and was used to formulate the Hindu law by the British colonial government.
Over fifty manuscripts of the Manusmriti are now known, but the earliest discovered, most translated and presumed authentic version since the 18th century has been the "Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) manuscript with Kulluka Bhatta commentary". Modern scholarship states this presumed authenticity is false, and the various manuscripts of Manusmriti discovered in India are inconsistent with each other, and within themselves, raising concerns of its authenticity, insertions and interpolations made into the text in later times.
The metrical text is in Sanskrit, is variously dated to be from the 2nd century BCE to 3rd century CE, and it presents itself as a discourse given by Manu (Svayambhuva) and Bhrigu on dharma topics such as duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and others. The text's fame spread outside Bharat (India), long before the colonial era. The medieval era Buddhistic law of Myanmar and Thailand are also ascribed to Manu,and the text influenced past Hindu kingdoms in Cambodia and Indonesia.

Answer:
The ancient version of the text has been subdivided into twelve Adhyayas (chapters), but the original text had no such division. The text covers different topics, and is unique among ancient Indian texts in using “transitional verses” to mark the end of one subject and the start of the next.
Explanation:
What are the political ideas of Manu?
Manusmriti strongly advocated for a political authority. Manu suggested that though the king derived his authority from God, in practice he should be guided by the brahmanas. The rationale behind it was the assumption that brahmanas possess knowledge and knowledge should rule.
