The correct answer is B, as the right to petition members of the government is contained in the First Amendment.

This amendment prohibits Congress from enacting laws that do not allow citizens to petition the government for compensation of grievances: "Congress shall make no law ... prohibiting ... to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

The right of petition guarantees the right to claim compensation from the government for violations of rights through litigation or other measure that the government may order. Together with the right of assembly, it allows people to meet in order to obtain changes in government.

zepelin [54]

Answer: B) Cornelius Vanderbilt and the $1 million endowment he gave to Vanderbilt University.

Does any part of the government have the legal authority to purchase new lands? Explain.
poizon [28]

Answer: The federal government owns roughly 640 million acres, about 28% of the 2.27 billion acres of land in the United States. Four major federal land management agencies administer 606.5 million acres of this land (as of September 30, 2018). They are the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and National Park Service (NPS) in the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the Forest Service (FS) in the Department of Agriculture. A fifth agency, the Department of Defense (excluding the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), administers 8.8 million acres in the United States (as of September 30, 2017), consisting of military bases, training ranges, and more. Together, the five agencies manage about 615.3 million acres, or 27% of the U.S. land base. Many other agencies administer the remaining federal acreage.

Explanation: Pursuant to the Property Clause of the United States Constitution (Article 4, section 3, clause 2), the Congress has the power to retain, buy, sell, and regulate federal lands, such as by limiting cattle grazing on them.
