(asap apex) in sum, we hold that the district's ban on handgun possession in the home violates the second amendment, as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense. assuming that heller is not disqualified from the exercise of second amendment rights, the district must permit him to register his handgun and must issue him a license to carry it in the home.3 what does the author of this excerpt most likely believe? o a. any law placing limits on handgun ownership violates the second amendment o b. a citizen's right to bear arms overrides a city's interest in protecting public safety o c. individual states may prohibit firearm ownership, but the federal government cannot o d. firearms are highly dangerous and must be strictly regulated by state and federal governments.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.

in 1862, president lincoln's emancipation proclamation opened the door for african americans to enlist in the union army. although many had wanted to join the war effort earlier, they were prohibited from enlisting by a federal law dating back to 1792.

explanation:

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40     distribute/multiply - into (2a + 7)

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

1 - 2a = a + 40       add 2a on both sides

1 = 3a + 40         subtract 40 on both sides

-39 = 3a       divide 3 on both sides

-13 = a

[proof]

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40

8 - (2(-13) + 7) = -13 + 40

8 - (-26 + 7) = 27

8 - (-19) = 27

8 + 19 = 27

27 = 27
