The renowned sculptor of France, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was specially made to plan an imposing sculpture to soon become world renowned.

Alexandre Gustave Eiffel the person who made the design of the Eiffel Tower was specially made to plan the enormous iron pylon and less important very thin structure, which permits the statuette copper skin to shift separately and yet rest standing. Bartholdi and the French were accountable for the statue itself and America was given the responsibility of raising the pedestal. Due to lack of money, Bartholdi was not able to complete the figure in time for the centenary celebration. The French used public amount; diverse variety of entertainment, and the lottery were different types of techniques to elevate funds.

Why does Lady Liberty have a crown on her head?

Daughter's social studies question of the week.....;please help i can't find anything

Assuming that the real reason wasn't for aesthetics, the crown would symbolize that Liberty is supreme, above all else.

That would mean that we, as a nation that accepts that statue as an icon, should revere and respect Liberty above all other considerations, including political differences, social engineering, environmental fads, and racial problems.

Perhaps it is time to change the crown to a jester's cap. There's actually a very small minority in this country that even understand Liberty, let alone cherish it above all else.
