What made mustard gas so effective?

History

Answer:

B. It didn't need to be inhaled to be effective

Explanation:

    Ingestion of the gas irritates mucous membranes, causing burning, large blisters and internal burns. If the amount of gas is large, it affects the entire digestive system. Symptoms appear after 24 hours. By mixing with fat, the agent is easily absorbed by the body, and is still able to pass through clothes.

    In contact with the eyes, mustard causes conjunctivitis. Within 24 hours, the eyelids swell and the victim has blindness. The pupil can be very small, permanently. With treatment in less than 12 hours, eye contamination does not kill, but leaves sequelae, such as blindness and other damage that may force eye removal.

    Inhaled mustard gas causes bleeding and blisters in the respiratory system. Victims usually die from pulmonary edema - excess fluid in the lung. Even at high concentrations, the gas is not perceived by the victim for several hours. In the case of lung contamination, this “discretion” is fatal.

    If exposure is only to the skin, the gas is fatal when it affects more than 50% of the victim's body. Death is slow, extremely painful and can take weeks. If the person survives, the treatment is long and debilitating. Even so, the chances of having skin cancer in the future increase exponentially.

At the Constitutional Convention, how did the Great Compromise (Connecticut Comprise) settle differences between the states who
Advocard [28]
Hi there!

To be able to effectively answer this question you must first understand what the first two plans were.

The Virginia Plan was a plan that would favor larger states in the legislative branch. It effectively based representation in those branches solely off of population, which would severely hinder smaller states representation in Congress. This system would also be a unicameral house; a single house system.

The New Jersey Plan was a plan that would even out the differences between the smaller states and larger states by providing that everybody have an equal amount of representatives in Congress. Therefore, each state, regardless of population, would have a certain amount of lawmakers from their state. This system was also a unicameral house; a single house system.

These two plans share a clear resemblance to the current system we have today. This system, also called the Connecticut Compromise by those at the Convention, was a compromise that incorporated the major aspects of both plans. It employed a bicameral house; a house system with two separate houses. One house, the Senate, would be based off the New Jersey plan and have equal representation for all. The other house, the House of Representatives, would be based off the Virginia Plan and provide the number of representatives for each state based off of population.

Fun fact: Every 10 years the federal government determines how many seats a state gets in the House through the US census.
