Answer and Explanation:
Jean-François Champollion was a great French academic. He had a strong passion for the study of ancient Eastern cultures and languages, which made him constantly and deeply research more and more accurate and confirmed information about different ancient civilizations. The passion and impetus for the study makes us consider Jean-François as a "knowledge seeker", since he did it as if it were something necessary for his survival.
This extremely academic behavior of Jean-François can be seen since childhood, since at sixteen he spoke fluently Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Amharic, Sanskrit, Arabic, Syriac, Chaldean, Persian and Chinese, not to mention French. In addition, he has mastered other languages over time.
He devoted himself to the study of the Egyptian language, which made him able to decipher the message written on the Pedra de Roseta, confirming his potential as a great historian, academic and knowledge seeker.
The problem of how much power the federal government should have has been a problem in history for ages. This can be seen after the Revolutionary War with the Articles of Confederation. Many people were scared of the federal government obtaining power after the Revolutionary War, as a lot of people did not want to have what happened with Great Britain happen again.
Amendment X, or the Tenth Amendment, states that the "<em>powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people</em>."
This statement limits the power of the federal government by granting all powers that are not already granted to the government to the citizens or the people. The federal government does not have all of the power to do everything and the power to do certain things are with the states and the people. This can be seen with local taxes, certain licenses, elections, and other things.
