A person is arrested for having possession of a handgun. The suspect argues in trial that people have the right to carry handguns based on the <u>Second Amendment.</u>

The Second Amendment to the U.S's Constitution (December 15, 1791) states the following:

<em>"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."</em>

The District of Columbia v. Heller Case's decision (2008), also affirmed it. The case decided that based on the Second Amendment, an individual has the right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use the arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.

2. Why do you think Trade created cultural diffusion?
stepan [7]

Answer:

Cultural diffusion is when one part of a culture moves to another.  I think cultural diffusion works when cultures become trade partners.  A trait can travel over great distances because of travel.  I think one cultural trait that would be passed is a language.

or

Cultural diffusion is the spread of cultural beliefs and social activities from one group of people to another. A trait could travel great distances due to migration to another place. Traits that can be passed down are food, religion, and clothing.
