It was. The statue of Zeus at Olympia, carved out by the sculptor named Phidias in around 435 BC, was a majestic statue and was considered to be one of the wonders of the ancient world. It raised awe and made peopel forget their earthly troubles, as one Greek orator noted. Sadly, there are no remains of this statue to be found anymore.

During the 1700s and 1800s, european society entered a new historical period, which was characterized by a shift toward an urban
siniylev [52]

The name of this period is the (First) Industrial Revolution. It started in Great Britain in the middle 16th century as it was here where the technological innovations that triggered the whole proccess were started. It lasted until 1820s-1830s in GB but it was also consistently spread to other European countries. Most countries ended up experiencing this same process but at different speeds, depending on the kind of economy they had before.

Less people were required to produce agricultural goods due to new machinery and innovations. These people moved from rural areas to cities where they could find opportunities for different types of unskilled industrial work. Also the craftery was substituted by industrial type of production, where goods were elaborated in chain and such type of production did not require artist skills, but only to understand how the machine worked. This is how all unskilled workers from rural areas could find jobs in the new urban and industrial production system.

Moreover, the whole process was fostered by the great amount of raw materials coming from the colonies that European countries had all over the world and that were transformed into goods in the factories.

Finally, technological innovations go hand in hand with scientific development and to the extension of human knowledge about the world.

Why did the Catholic Church respond negatively to Copernicus and Galileo’s discoveries?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Because back then, the Catholic Church stated that the Earth had to be the center of the solar system because God is perfect, therefore made Earth perfect, causing it to be the center of everything. This was wrong. Galileo and Copernicus had shared that the Sun was actually the center, not the Earth. This contradicted with what the church said, therefore what "God" said. The church called them out for blasphemy and they had to deny their ideas.

Which aspect of the new federal government established by the Constitutional Convention bestreflected the goals of the supporter
maxonik [38]

The Senate  bestreflected the goals of the supporters of the New Jersey Plan.

Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The New Jersey Program was one way of governing the United States. Instead of the nation, the plan called for one vote by each government in Congress. On 15 June 1787 William Paterson, a New Jersey representative, presented it to the Constitutional amendment.

Perhaps most notably the Connecticut Negotiation was adopted, which created a bicameral congressional concept with the United States.

The Senate divided by population in accordance with the plan of Virginia and the Senate, in compliance with the plan of New Jersey, awarded equal votes by province.

When the agreements were made, William Paterson and other delegates from smaller countries poured themselves in front of the new Constitution. Although the New Jersey Policy of Paterson was vetoed, the debates over his plan guaranteed the US. With every country having two representatives, the Senate would be organized.
