Answer:
Cuneiform was used as a form of record-keeping and it was picked up by the speakers of different languages. This helped to perpetuate it across different cultures. Today it is largely preserved on stone tablets whereas other exemplars of early languages were kept on more perishable materials like leather or papyrus.
Explanation:
Cuneiform was a language that many societies in the Ancient Near East had in common. The cuneiform style was so dominant that scholars have said that it is the script for the first half of recorded history. Even to this day, cuneiform tablets survive in great abundance. The cuneiform script was not in itself a language. Scribes from different cultures could decipher and use it to convey information in a number of languages and not just ancient Sumerian. Among them is the Semitic language Akkadian which was the lingua franca of the Assyrian Empire and for the Babylonians. The Rosetta Stone equivalent for cuneiform is Bisitun Pass in Iran. There there are inscriptions recorded in Persian, Akkadian, and an Iranian language known as Elamite. This allowed researchers to decipher repetitive words across the different languages like “Darius” and “king” and so they could eventually piece together the information that cuneiform conveyed.
One type of structure facilitated by reinforced concrete is the cantilever, a projecting form supported at only one end. The American architect Frank Lloyd Wright made poetic use of this type of structure in his development of the house known as Fallingwater.
Answer:
D. is invalid because although on its face it's an intrastate law, this statute will have a significant economic effect on interstate commerce causing an undue burden
Explanation:
States can create laws that improve residents' lives by providing more security, education or infrastructure. Even if states have the autonomy to create their laws, some of them could not be sanctioned because they are the responsibility of the federal government and not the state. An example of this is the law made by the state of Kansas shown in the above question that, although it was created for a good reason (which was to promote road safety), it refers to an intrastate law that creates a significant burden on commerce between the state of Kansas and another state. This type of law can only be created by the federal government (specifically, the federal congress) to be valid.
