It should be the first option: nation-state
You mean "The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants". It means a revolution should take place once government gets too big or they begin to infringe on the free will's of people. Which means, Patriots and Tyrants will die if it means to maintain Liberty.
I just took the test, the answer is A. Trust me :)
36' 30 is the latitude that was chosen as the dividing line between slave and free states.
Left Panel
I don't know how to eliminate all the choices, but the answer for this question is E.
A is incorrect. Out of 10000 cases making an appeal to the Supreme court, only 80 are hear.
B: Sometimes a case is heard if only 1 justice wants to hear it because the case is in the realm of his specialty. So B is not true.
C: C is one of those possibilities that is possible that might be true. Actually the cases presented to the court go through a pool of clerks who decide whether or not to pass it on.
D: For the same reason that B is not the answer, I don't think this one is either. The court has in recent history had an odd number of justices. I don't think the chief justice has any more votes than any of the others. The vote rarely is 4 to 4 close, especially recently.
Middle Panel
The answer to this is D to make and pass laws that apply to the state. I'll explain this better in the comments when I'm at home.
Right Panel
I think the closest answer is A. I'll put this one in the comments as well.
