If you mean "How do modern people pronounce the name Bastet?", the answer is you can pronounce it any way you wish since it is an invented version of the name.
The ancient Egyptian writing systems did not include vowels, so the "a" and the "e" are simply guesses; we can never know how the name was pronounced in ancient times. In hieroglyphs the word is written bAstt (where the A is a glottal consonant that does not exist in English); many Egyptologists believe that the final -t (a feminine word ending) was not pronounced at all.
The correct answer for Apex is a group of legislators separates from a larger legislator and forms its own.
The French Revolution is a misleading term. There have been at least 23 French Revolutions. The first one started on 14th July 1789 when the starving people of Paris attacked the Bastille, a fortress on the edge of town, because a) they needed some guns and b) the Bastille was a prison where the King could send anybody, any time, without question or trial. The mob, armed with muskets and one or two cannon from Les Invalides, battered at the walls and told the Governor that his life would be spared if he surrendered. The Governor surrendered. His head was removed with a blunt knife. The mob then rushed to rescue the prisoners. It turned out there were only seven of them, as the King wasn't using that prison any more. Bother. Meanwhile at Versailles the King, wanting more tax money, had called Parliament to meet for the first time in 150 years. Mistake. In theory, he should have got what he wanted. Parliament had three houses, or 'Estates'; the Nobility, the Clergy and the Third Estate, which meant the common people. (Incidentally, this is where we get the term 'Third World' from.) The Nobility and Clergy didn't pay taxes, so were only too willing to give the King what he wanted. The Third Estate paid all the taxes and would obviously vote against more; but each Estate had only one vote. The members of the Third Estate responded to this constitutional unfairness by locking themselves in the King's indoor tennis court and swearing not to leave until France had a new constitution. The King gave in, then changed his mind, then sent for troops to back up his authority; which was why the common people in Paris needed guns to defend themselves. When the King heard about the Bastille business he said 'Oo dear, is this a revolt?' and was answered 'No, Sire, it's a Revolution'. He allowed the Third Estate a new voting system, but they didn't trust him and he was escorted to Paris where an eye could be kept on him. He tried to escape and was imprisoned. Every other King in Europe protested. The new French Government declared war on every King in Europe. The King was convicted of plotting with France's enemies, and guillotined. Reign of Terror. All enemies of Revolution go on chopping list. Enemies defeated. War over, Terror no longer necessary, its leaders are executed. France without leaders, General Napoleon Bonaparte takes over. 1804, he becomes Emperor Napoleon. More wars. 1814, King back (Louis XVIII); 1815, Napoleon returns for 100 days, then Waterloo and King back. Succeeded by his son Charles X. Unpopular. 1830, Revolution. Louis-Philippe, constitutional monarchy. 1848, Revolution. Second Republic. President, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, great-nephew of guess who. 1852, Second Empire, Napoleon III. 1870, war with Prussia. France loses. Paris besieged. Emperor abdicates. Third Republic. New Government surrenders Paris. Revolution in Paris (the Commune). French army invades Paris. 20,000 Parisians killed in a week. Paris comes to heel. 1940, Germans invade. Dictatorship. 1945, Fourth Republic. At the moment, we're on the Fifth Republic and still counting.

It's a biblical reference, I do believe. "...and the lion shall lie down with the lamb"
"and so the lion fell in love with the lamb" is a play on the famous phrase from the Book of Revelations in the Bible: "...and so the lion shall lay down with the lamb." This indicates what will happen when the second coming of Jesus takes place in the religion of Christianity; the lion and the lamb will lay down together, enemies will become friends, and hate will not exist in the kingdom of Heaven.
Wordsworth was critical of the French Revolution, particularly as it veered towards violence and instability. He believed that the strive for liberty and equality should be pursued through peaceful means rather than through bloodshed. Wordsworth's views on the French Revolution reveal his concern for the human cost of political upheaval and his belief in the importance of moral principles in guiding social change.

The Napoleonic Code of Law works on the basis of 'The accused must prove his innocence in a court of law, otherwise he/she is improsoned/fined.
The English Code of Law works on the basis of ' The accused does NOT have to prove his/her innocence in a court of law. It is for the accusers to prove guilt. If guilt is not proven the accused goes free.
It is a very subtle difference!!!!
The English Code' comes from, King Henry (II) in 1180's. when he established Circuit Judges and Trial by Jury of Twelve Just Men and True, and right of innocence.
The Napoleonic Code, as the name suggests comes from Napoleon, in the 1800's when he was 'conqueror' of Europe, and the right of innocence was removed.
A very recent example of the Napoleonic Code in action was the murder of Merdith Kercher in Italy. Amanda Knox(USA citizen) and Solecito were accused. Amanda Knox could not prove her innocence, so the Italian court imprisoned her. She appealed on the decision, but it took four years for the law process to act. Whereupon she was released, and went back to the USA.

Print culture played a significant role in the French Revolution by disseminating ideas and information to the masses. Pamphlets, newspapers, and political tracts were used to spread revolutionary ideologies, critique the monarchy, and mobilize public support for revolutionary causes. The accessibility of printed materials helped to unite disparate groups and shape public opinion, ultimately contributing to the revolutionary fervor and the downfall of the monarchy.
The flight to Varennes was important because it revealed the true intentions of King Louis XVI. He attempted to escape from France, which suggested that he was not committed to the revolutionary ideals and was conspiring against the revolution. This incident further eroded the people's trust in the monarchy and fueled revolutionary sentiments, ultimately leading to the downfall of the monarchy and the execution of the king.
In France, the majority of people belonged to the Third Estate before the French Revolution. This estate encompassed the commoners, including the bourgeoisie (middle class) and peasants. They made up the largest portion of the population but held the least privilege and political power compared to the First and Second Estates (clergy and nobility).
The Bastille was an important political symbol in France before the French Revolution because it represented the monarchy's power and oppression. It was a notorious prison that symbolized the abuse of power, and its storming on July 14, 1789, was a catalyst for the revolution. The fall of the Bastille became a powerful symbol of popular uprising and liberation from tyrannical rule.

The government of the Directory was unpopular for several reasons. Firstly, it was seen as ineffective in solving the economic and social problems that France was facing, such as rampant inflation and food shortages. Secondly, there was widespread corruption and nepotism within the government, which eroded public trust. Lastly, the Directory was also criticized for suppressing political opposition, leading to a general discontent among the population.
The growing violence of the French Revolution resulted in various consequences. The Reign of Terror, led by Maximilien Robespierre, resulted in the execution of thousands of people, including political opponents and perceived enemies of the revolution. The violence also sparked a wave of fear and instability in France, leading to a loss of public support for the revolution and the rise of more conservative forces. Additionally, the violence and chaos of the revolution contributed to the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and the establishment of the French Consulate and later the French Empire.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was an influential philosopher during the Enlightenment. His ideas, such as the concept of the general will, emphasized the importance of popular sovereignty and democracy. While Rousseau did not directly cause the French Revolution, his ideas played a significant role in shaping the political and social climate that ultimately led to the revolution, by inspiring people to question traditional authority and institutions and to demand more political participation and equality.
The ideals of the French Revolution, such as liberty, equality, and fraternity, had a profound impact on political and social changes in Europe and the Americas. In Europe, the revolutionary ideas fueled nationalist movements, the emergence of constitutional monarchies, and the overthrow of conservative regimes. In the Americas, the French Revolution inspired independence movements against colonial powers and the establishment of democratic systems of government. Overall, the ideals of the French Revolution contributed to the spread of democracy and the questioning of traditional authority.
