Answer 1

The civil service strengthened the Han empire because officials were not allowed to serve in their home districts primarily because **they could not then organize with their family and friends against the emperor.** This policy helped to ensure that officials were less likely to act in ways that could undermine the central authority, as they would be working in unfamiliar areas where their personal connections and loyalties were diminished.
