Under the great compromise, a bicameral legislature was created with
representation in the upper house (the senate) being based on population and
representation for each state in the lower house (the house of representatives)
being equal for all states.

true
false

The correct answer is false.

It is false that under the Great Compromise, a bicameral legislature was created with representation in the upper house (the Senate) being based on population and representation for each state in the lower house (the House of Representatives) being equal for all states.

Under the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise of 1787, the delegates created two chambers in Congress. But the difference with the above statement is this. The House of Representatives was determined by the state's population, and the Senate -the upper chamber- would have two senators per state.

in his book, the riddle of the rosetta stone, james giblin talks about how there was a young british polymath and physician named thomas young who made a lot of advances on the deciphering of the rosetta stone. he says that even though young made a lot of mistakes because he was working under false assumptions, he also made huge contributions like deciphering three out of the seven symbols (more than anyone else before him). young published his findings and continued his good work but he wasn't able to progress much further due to some unfavorable situations, he still laid the basis for many other scholars and of course for the man who has been generally known to have deciphered it, jean-françois champollion

he died and left a legacy that will never be i think
