Answer:

A year after Napoleon's troops invaded Egypt in 1718, the Rosetta stone was found near Rashid. The Rosetta stone was a stone that had three versions of a decree issued incripted in it. This was very important to Egypt, they often made it the subject of sculpture. The scholars labeled the slab the “Rosetta Stone” in honor of where it was found. The French used what was well  known as the rubbing paper teqnique, which allowed them to make copies of the Rosetta Stone’s inscription. The stones inscription was unknown to most because of the language it was in. Thomas Young, an english physician, was determined to solve the discovery language. He was unsuccessful. After Thomas, Champollion who is known as "the father of Egyptiology" was able to desipher the ancient Egyptian language.

Which statement explains how the Tenth Amendment differs from the rest of the Bill of Rights?
kotegsom [21]

<em>B. The Tenth Amendment protects the powers of states, rather than individual liberties.</em>

Explanation:

Most of the Bill of Rights goes over and protects individual liberties, like freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, protection of unreasonable searches, etc. This is where the Tenth Amendment differs.

The Tenth Amendment grants any and all of the powers that are not reserved to the national government, to the states. This was very important, as many people during this time were scared of tyranny and were nervous about the national government having too much power. While things are still reserved for the government, the states have the power to do the rest.
