Answer:

The omphalos.

Explanation:

The omphalos was a marble stone in the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, Greece, which, according to the Greeks, designated the focal point of the world.

According to the legend, the omphalos fell from the sky as a meteor. He was venerated in the sanctuary of Apollo. Originally it was probably a sacrificial stone of the goddess Gaia and marks the place where the eagles sent by Zeus in the extreme west and in the extreme east met in the middle of the world. According to Pausanias, it was the world axis, the mythical connection between heaven, earth and the underworld.

Which of the three plans of the convention was the one that was approved? Why was this plan finally chosen?

Nataly_w [17]

Answer: When delegates to the Constitutional Convention began to assemble at Philadelphia in May 1787, they quickly resolved to replace rather than merely revise the Articles of Confederation. Although James Madison is known as the “father of the constitution,” George Washington’s support gave the convention its hope of success. Division of power between branches of government and between the federal and state governments, slavery, trade, taxes, foreign affairs, representation, and even the procedure to elect a president were just a few of the contentious issues. Diverging plans, strong egos, regional demands, and states’ rights made solutions difficult. Five months of debate, compromise, and creative strategies produced a new constitution creating a federal republic with a strong central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments. Ten months of public and private debate were required to secure ratification by the minimum nine states. Even then Rhode Island and North Carolina held out until after the adoption of a Bill of Rights.
