The Rosetta Stone is one of the most important objects in the British Museum as it holds the key to understanding Egyptian hieroglyphs—a script made up of small pictures that was used originally in ancient Egypt for religious texts.

Answer:

The Rosetta Stone is special in the modern day because it gave modern day humans a way to decipher the Ancient Egyptian language.

Explanation:

For centuries, the Ancient Egyptian language was gone. Then, in 1799 the Rosetta Stone was discovered. It contained the same text three times, once in Ancient Greek, once in Demotic (a mix of Greek and Egyptian from when Greeks ruled Egypt), and once in Ancient Egyptian. Nobody knew what the Egyptian words meant, but they DID know the Greek words. Using those Greek words, the Egyptian tongue was slowly deciphered.

The actual text on the Stone isn't very important, but the languages used on it and the fact that they all say the same thing is very important.

The transition during World War I from coal-powered ships to much larger vessels that burned oil led to
AlexFokin [52]

The correct option is c. the need for additional smaller ships to defend them.

The painful changeover was brought on by Britain's lack of oil reserves, according to Gray. With it, Britain acquired the majority of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, ushering in a new era of "petro-politics." The Spanish-American War of 1898 caused the United States Navy to reconsider utilizing coal as fuel. Coal-fired warships had to engage in combat for the first time far from the continental coasts. Despite American wins in Santiago de Cuba and Manila Bay in the Philippines, severe strategic lessons concerning refueling coal-powered warships were discovered.

How did the issue of slavery affect the debate on representation at the Constitutional Convention? Both regions recognized that
marin [14]

The right answer is "Both regions recognized that how enslaved people were counted would significantly affect representation."

Many issues remained unresolved during the constitutional convention. Among the most important was the subject of slavery. Slaves were close to a fifth of the population in the American colonies. Most lived in the southern colonies, where they reached 40 percent of the population. Whether slavery should be permitted and continued under the new constitution was a matter of north-south conflict, with several southern states refusing entry into the union if slavery were forbidden. So there was no serious discussion about the abolition of slavery.

The most debatable issue of slavery was the question of whether slaves would be taken into account as part of the population in determining representation in Congress or were considered as property and without the right to representation. State delegates with large populations of slaves defended the idea that slaves should be considered people in determining representation, but as property if the new government were to impose taxes on states based on population. The delegates of states where slavery had disappeared or had almost disappeared defended the idea that slaves should be included in taxes, but not in the determination of representation.

Finally the Commitment of the Three Fifths was proposed by the delegate James Wilson and adopted by the convention. By this commitment only three-fifths of the slave population would be counted toward enumeration purposes both at the time of tax distribution and at the apportionment of the members of the United States House of Representatives.
