Why was the airplane invented the time it did? Why not 10 years later?

Rufina [12.5K]

While many believe that the airplane was invented by the Wright brothers in Kitty Hawk, N.C., the first man to fly was New Zealander Richard Pearse in 1902, eight months before the Wright brothers first flew. Pearse, according to witnesses, flew a length of 50 to 400 yards in a heavier-than-air machine. Pearse's aircraft was the first to use proper ailerons, which allowed the wings to warp and turn the aircraft. Though many credit the invention of airplanes to the Wright brothers, Richard Pearse never reported his inventions because he didn't know there was any interest in flying.

Though the Wright brothers tested many gliders in the early 1900s, none of them counted as an actual aircraft, and the brothers didn't achieve flight until late 1903 with their first plane, the Flyer I. The craft weighed over 600 pounds, and Orville Wright was the first pilot. The craft remained airborne for 12 seconds and traveled a little over 120 feet.

Pargo v. Elliot--this case was the beginning of women arguing they do not receive equal treatment to other prisoners.

Though the case was overturned and no just cause was found, it did bring attention to the issue of treatment of prisoners. In particular, women prisons being so few have been cited as having poor health programs and not as many educational programs as men.

Explain how the Great Compromise at the Constitutional Convention was a compromise between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey

Norma-Jean [14]

The Great Compromise solved the issue of representation by putting the ideas of large(Virginia) states and small( New Jersey) states together. This compromise started off by keeping a two house Congress which were the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives came from the large states plan, and the Senate came from the small states plan. The first house represented the people, and it involved a number of representatives based on population of the state. The second house represented the states, and each of the states will have two senators that were elected by their legislature which constructed equal representation.
