Sumerian civilization is the oldest known ancient civilization in the world. About this civilization, scientists get information based on of clay tablets with wedge inscriptions, which tell about the way of life, beliefs, religion, trade, etc.  This is done thanks to the Sumerian writing system, which is one of the oldest writing systems, called the Sumerian Cuneiform. It is a wedge letter from Mesopotamia, Persia, which is preserved on clay tablets, and which, due to its phonetic characteristic, was easily deciphered. Also, the simplicity of this letter enabled the texts of the ancient civilization to be written down and preserved.

The answer is: A.

c. the passage of the fifteenth amendment

during the debate over his landmark energy policy proposal, president jimmy carter failed to consult one of the most powerful senators, louisiana’s russell long, who would have a big say over whether the legislation moved through the upper chamber. this was classic carter. with a strong distaste for congressional politics, the president simply refused to do what most other presidents would consider routine, such as courting key senators. long became so irate with the president that when he was finally invited to a white house dinner, he stood up to ask a question and, before doing so, proceeded to sarcastically introduce himself: “i’m russell long, chairman of the senate finance committee.”

this interaction is a revealing moment in stuart e. eizenstat’s fascinating new history of carter’s presidency. the former peanut farmer from georgia was a president who, according to conventional wisdom, didn’t care much for party politics; nonetheless, in eizenstat’s view, carter’s legacy on domestic and foreign policy has been vastly underappreciated. the author paints carter as a “bold and determined” leader who bravely attacked the challenges of his time. eizenstat goes so far as to argue that carter might very well be the most successful one-term president in american history.
