I have some: the ACLU- American Civil Liberties Union. They work to enforce the protection of existing rights of all Americans, though they do often work to expand rights, such as gay rights, etc. They are a group of lawyers.
2. NAACP- Nat'l Association for the Advancement of Colored People. They work to protect existing rights of racial and ethnic minorities.
3. NRA- National Rifle Association. Work to protect and expand the rights of gun-owners, based on their interpretation of the 2nd Amendment that it gives individuals the right to carry firearms. Another interpretation is that it gives states the right to form militias (what gun-control advocates often say). There are other interpretations as well.
- That's all I have but hopefully u can research more and answer the questiona.
I believe it's false because contiguous means that all the states are touching each other but 48/50 states are touching each other except Hawaii and Alaska
<u>Answer 12:</u>
According to the Declaration of Independence, King George The Third repeatedly dissolved Representative Houses. The most famous dissolution took place in 1768, when Governor Bernard of Massachusetts was ordered to dissolve the Massachusetts Provincial Congress. The representative house of Massachusetts had issued a letter stating that the taxes imposed by the colonists were not fair, since the colonists had no representation in the British Parliament. When asked to rescind the letter, the Provincial Congress opposed with <em>“manly firmness”</em> and refused to do so. In consequence, it was dissolved. The same happened to other representative houses, mainly because of their opposing to King’s attacks against the rights of people.

It was <em>“Times of Peace”</em> and having those armies could mean a danger that would require supervision. Disrespect the colonial legislatures on this matter, implied that he would disrespect on other matters as well.

King George ordered that the colonies housed British soldiers, and that they should providing them with their best houses, furniture, bedding, cooking utensils, and anything else the soldiers needed. By keeping the soldiers in the territory, the King would maintain a strong military presence under his command, making the military power superior to the local government.
<u>Answer 16:</u>
The King imposed taxes to the colonies without their consent. When those taxes were opposed by the colonies, the King would take tyrannical measures to confront the rebellion, suppressing the rights of the people even more. For instance, when the Sugar Act of 1764 was opposed by the colonists, the King enacted the Stamp Tax, in 1765. Other taxes were applied in 1767 and 1773. Those taxes were known by the colonists as <em>“Intolerable Acts”</em> and they struck not only the economic freedom of the colonies, but also their political rights, especially the civil rights of the colony of Massachusetts.
