[Hominidae]

Head of state and/or head of government?

[cdngooner]

Head of state and/or head of government?

It was already asked if he was a head of state (he is not). In case you want to rephrase your question.

Good catch. Scratch the question then.

I wish people would stop asking if the person is a head of state though, without also asking if they're a head of government.

[Hominidae]

For my actual question: was this person ever in a national legislative body, such as a parliament?

[cdngooner]

I beg for clarification of an earlier question/answer. I asked if he was a "military leader or revolutionary". QM answered "No." I intended "military leader" and "revolutionary" to be separate, but realize the adjective "military" might have been applied to both, such that you answered "No" to "military revolutionary", but might have answered yes to a broader definition of revolutionary.

Would this person be described as a political revolutionary, even if not a military one?

I intend this as a clarification, not a question. But if QM in your wisdom judge it to be a question, don't answer it. I won't waste one of the team's questions on this.

[Jamiet99uk]

Does this person have anything named after them?

Be it a sports arena, a college, a type of spoon, a country, a dish, or anything else.

[wintergreen]

Born in an area part of the Balkans?

[Wattsthematter]

The next question will be question 19. Hopefully we get some yes's

Well, as a free hint I can tell you that he was neither a head of state nor a head of government. Question duly scratched.

For my actual question: was this person ever in a national legislative body, such as a parliament?

He was indeed.

I beg for clarification of an earlier question/answer. I asked if he was a "military leader or revolutionary". QM answered "No." I intended "military leader" and "revolutionary" to be separate, but realize the adjective "military" might have been applied to both, such that you answered "No" to "military revolutionary", but might have answered yes to a broader definition of revolutionary.

I intend this as a clarification, not a question. But if QM in your wisdom judge it to be a question, don't answer it. I won't waste one of the team's questions on this.

I answered the question as you intended to ask it. He is not usually described as a revolutionary.

Does this person have anything named after them?

Be it a sports arena, a college, a type of spoon, a country, a dish, or anything else.

As a matter of fact, he has several things named after him. I'm positive you've heard of at least one of them.

Born in an area part of the Balkans?

No.
