State Representation is based off the population of the state, since slaves weren't technically citizens, they were not counted in deciding how many representatives a state had.

Answer:

The addition of the Bill of Rights shortly after the Constitution was adopted

antoniya [11.8K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The “Age of Knights” ended with the development of a weapon that was first used at the Battles of Crecy, Poitiers, and Agincourt. This military innovation was the longbow.

This weapon was a long curved arc in the form of a "D." It was used by the knights in battles such as Crecy, Poitiers, and Agincourt. Other weapons were used in those armed confrontations as was the case of poleaxes, lances, and different kinds of swords.

We are talking about the turbulent years of the Hundred Years War that started in 1337 and ended in 1453. The War was confronted by Great Britain vs. France. The British won the war.
