Read this excerpt from the District of Columbia v. Heller dissenting opinion:
The (Second) Amendment permits government to regulate
the interests that it serves. Thus, irrespective of what
those interests are-whether they do or do not include an
independent interest in self-defense-the majority's view
cannot be correct unless it can show that (Washington,
D.C.'s) regulation is unreasonable or inappropriate in
Second Amendment terms. This the majority cannot do.3
What does the author of this excerpt most likely believe?

government cannot.
B. Firearms are a danger to the average citizen and should be
outlawed nationwide.
C. Cities have the right to reasonably limit individual rights to
promote the public interest.
D. The Second Amendment no longer applies to the modern United
States
Answer:
C. Cities have the right to reasonably limit individual rights to
promote the public interest.
Explanation:
District of Columbia v. Heller, case in which the U.S. Supreme Court on June 26, 2008, held (5–4) that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to possess firearms independent of service in a state militia and to use firearms for traditionally lawful purposes, including self-defense within the home. It was the first Supreme Court case to explore the meaning of the Second Amendment since United States v. Miller (1939).
The dissenting opinion was that that cities have the right to regulate the public use of gun which the masses believed was a neccesity.

How could a tariff protect infant industry 1. It would make the price competitive with more established markets 2. It would help customers find the lowest price 3. It would discourage trade 4. It would help the American protect be more valued
Answer: 3. It would discourage trade
Explanation:
An infant industry is one that just recently started and as such neither has the scale nor the expertise for the market it is in, at least not yet. For this reason their prices may be relatively high as they have not achieved economies or scale or rather they are not able to charge lower prices as they can only produce relatively fewer goods and haven't learnt proper cost effective methods.
Introducing tariffs will reduce trade from outside with more established companies in the market who would be able to charge lower prices thereby killing the infant industry. By applying tariffs, the price of goods from the more established companies will at least be on par or more expensive than normal thus making the market more competitive which will be good for the infant industry.

Please select the best answer from the choices provided
oooo
Answer: b. voter turnout
Explanation: It is no news that the state of Texa is well-known for their low and depressing voter turnout rate historically which maybe due to a number of factors. Some of these factors includes:
1. that there exists such a small portion of voting-eligible population in both statewide and local elections. Most times the reason is often attributed to voter suppression efforts, an unmotivated voting public, uncompetitive races etc. or a combination of these factors.

3. And lastly, Texas claims by median age the third-lowest median age in the United States and as such is a very young state which many persons ineligible to casts votes. However, the older Texans are also more likely to turn out for local and statewide elections.
