Answer: She will either lose her brothers or her betrothed/ fiancé

Explanation:

The question is in relation to a painting called<em> Oath of the Horatii</em> that depicts the Horatii brothers pledging to fight to the death for the glory of Rome. It is based on a legend that 3 Horatii brothers from Rome would fight 3 Curiatii brothers from Alba Longa to decide a winner between the two cities in an ongoing dispute. This way they would not have to send both their armies and therefore save life.

As the brothers salute their father, their sister weeps because she is betrothed to one of the Curiatii brothers. This means that she is a loser in this dispute because she will either lose her brothers if the Curiatii kill them or she will lose her betrothed if her brothers kill the Curiatii.

She ends up twice the loser however as her surviving brother returns home and kills her when he sees her mourning her betrothed and cursing Rome.

The absence of a Bill of Rights in the original Constitution was considered a major issue by which of the following selections?
lukranit [14]

<em>A. Anti-Federalists.</em>

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights are known to be the first 10 amendments in the United States Constitution. This protects citizens freedom, and their freedom from the government, which was a huge problem for the Anti-Federalists. The Anti-Federalists did not want a constitution that gave too much power to the central government, they were scared the government would abuse their power, just like Great Britain did with them, with the strict laws and "taxation without representation." The Federalists did not believe the Bill of Rights was necessary to go along with the U.S. Constitution, but the Anti-Federalists insisted in having one to protect their freedom from the government.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]
<span>There were several reasons the gap between the rich and poor grew during the 1980s. Unions, which had always protected workers, were in decline.
