Answer:

Three French men that did not want to be named when they bribed US diplomats.

Explanation:

As early as the autumn of 1796, the United States' relations with France began to deteriorate rapidly. After the unilateral dissolution of the Union with the United States in 1778, France began aggression against American merchants in the Caribbean and Atlantic. France's continuing aggression at sea and its apparent attempts to undermine American policy with revolutionary propaganda and bribery led the two great powers to declare war, especially at sea.

In May 1797, US President John Adams decided that, despite opposition from the Federalist Party, he would send three diplomats to Paris to seek a negotiated solution. Six months later, a message arrived in Philadelphia that the French foreign minister had informed American diplomats through intermediaries that negotiations could only take place if he was paid a solid sum.  The President published the delegation's report, in which the French agents were designated by the letters X, Y and Z (from which the informal name of the document and the entire incident came from), stirring up a storm of anti-French sentiment in American society.

What were the collection of spells that was buried with the mummy?
bogdanovich [222]

The correct answer is : The Book of the Dead.

<em>The Book of the Dead is</em> an ancient Egyptian funerary text, a collection of magic spells which enable the soul of the deceased to navigate the after life.

These spells were designed  to provide protection and help to the spirit of the dead person. The afterlife was considered to be a continuation of life on earth. The spirit had to pass many difficulties and judgement in the Hall of True before it could reach a paradise. The spells were there to assist the spirits during the passage, giving them instructions and enabling them to assume the form of several mystic creatures. It also contained passwords necessary for admittance to certain stages to the underworld.

The spells were usually written on a tablet or a sarcophagus instead of papyrus, this was the reason why many copies survived.

nekit [7.7K]

 The Justinian Code was created in order to create one single set of laws for all of the Byzantine Empire. This code was extremely important because it served as the basis for everyday actions within the empire including marriage, criminal justice, slavery, and property rights. Along with this, the code ended up serving as the basis for the laws of the Byzantine Empire for the next 900 years. Countries all over world use ideas from Justinian Code's in order to form a comprehensive set of laws.
