Answer:
The Constitutional Convention was ignored by governments all over the world
Explanation:
An excerpt from the text that suggests Kovaloff has not learned anything from his experience is: "<em>He returned joyfully, and regarded with a satirical expression two officers who were in the shop, one of whom possessed a nose not much larger than a waistcoat button</em>."
Here the character, a Major who lost his nose, is seen doing the same he did before his experience: joyfully shopping and mocking others, as though nothing happened. His personality is still arrogant and judgemental.
Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 3, scene 2.
[BRUTUS.] If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him.
As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it. As he was
valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I
slew him.
Which paraphrase of the passage is the best?
Brutus explains that if people ask why he killed Caesar, he will tell them that it is not because he did not love Caesar, but because he loved Rome more. He asks the people, “Would you rather have Caesar alive, and we all die as slaves, or Caesar dead, and we die free?” He says he is sad because he and Caesar were friends. He honors Caesar’s bravery, but Caesar was too ambitious, so he had to be killed.
Brutus asks the people of Rome if they would rather have Caesar alive and they all be slaves, or have Caesar dead so they can live freely.
