Young had learned to read before he was two, and by the age of twenty had mastered a dozen foreign languages including Arabic, P

ersian, and Turkish. An inheritance from an uncle left him free to pursue his scientific interests. At various times, Young studied the habits of spiders, the surface features of the moon, and diseases of the chest. Then, intrigued by the challenge of the Rosetta Stone, he put aside his other studies and concentrated on attempting to decipher the writing on it. Young had read of de Sacy’s and Akerblad’s work in Paris, and was determined to succeed where they had failed.
Based on the details in the excerpt, James Cross Giblin’s attitude toward Thomas Young is

positive because Young shows the skills and determination to figure out the inscriptions.
positive because Young is wealthy and has plenty of free time to pursue anything that interests him.
negative because Young lacks the experience needed to read foreign languages.
negative because Young is overconfident in his ability to succeed where others have failed.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Jefferson completed the Louisiana purchase even though he feared it was unconstitutional.

Explanation:

Article IV of the Constitution said new states could be added, but made no provision for taking on foreign territories.

Jefferson was concerned that the treaty powers granted to the President in the Constitution did not allow the executive branch to attain land through treaty.

Jefferson argued that a constitutional amendment was needed. ...

This purchase was needed because the President feared that if the America did purchase New Orleans from France  it would eventually lead to war.

The initial intent was to only purchase New Orleans, but when the representatives returned they proposed a buy out of the entire Louisiana territory. Napoleon needed money for an impending war with England. The territory was sold to the US for $15.
