Answer:

1)Phyllite

Explanation:

The rock which has undergone more temperature and pressure conditions is Phyllite which is also known as Gneiss.

Schist and Phyllite are produced by the process of medium to high grade metamorphism. But in some cases Phyllite is produced by high grade metamorphism when compared to schist. The Low-grade metamorphic rocks always tend to be fine-grained. High-grade metamorphic rocks are often tend to be coarse-grained.

Phyllite is a high grade metamorphic rock,which means it has been subjected to higher temperatures and pressures than schist. Phyllite is formed by the metamorphosis of granite, or the sedimentary rock. Gneiss/Phyllite displays distinct defoliation, representing the alternating layers composed of different mineral forms.

What constitutional issues were raised by federal government policies during the war?
navik [9.2K]

<u>Answer is:</u>

The issues were raised by federal government policies during the war are as follows:

limited speech when speech constituted a "clear and present danger"

Explanation:

Clear and present danger was a doctrine adopted by the Supreme Court of the United States to determine under what circumstances limits can be placed on First Amendment freedoms of speech, press, or assembly. The test was replaced in 1969 with Brandenburg v Ohios "imminent lawless action" test.

<u>Example:</u>

Although the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment protects freedom of speech, any speech that poses a "clear and present danger" to the public or government loses this protection. The classic example is that shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater is not protected speech.
