1.  D. They wanted to prevent official government-sponsored churches.

The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the government from establishing a national religion and from denying the right to exercise one's religion. It was included in the 1rst Amendment in order to separate religion from the government and to prohibit the government from endorsing, supporting or sponsoring religious activities.

2. C. It upheld prohibitions against the possession of firearms by felons.

The Second Amendment consists of two parts: the prefatory clause, which states “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State”, and the operative clause that says “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed”. Through the years, the second clause has been the most controversial and debated in the Court. However, In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the Supreme Court interpreted that individuals could keep and bear arms for self-defense only and it should be kept in the home, that individuals could not carry dangerous and unusual weapons and it prohibited felons and the mentally ill from possessing firearms.

List of us presidents and their accomplishments
morpeh [17]
There have been up until now been 45 US presidents so listing them all and their accomplishments is almost impossible. Try to focus on the most important ones historically like George Washington who liberated the US, Abraham Lincoln who freed the Slaves, Theodore Roosevelt and FDR who helped beat larger companies and implemented many social policies, Kennedy who helped with the Civil Rights Movement, and there are a few more notable ones.

saw5 [17]
Federalism is an astronomically immense part of American politics as it fortifies a vigorous centralized regime that is able to control certain things regarding U.S. policies. The two main parties of the U.S. are kenned to be the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. Both Democrats and Republicans have local, state, and national organizations committing to kindred notions and working to win as many offices as possible in order to gain a majority party in politics. The National Committee is composed of representatives from each state that avail raise funds and apperception for presidential elections. Within the National Committee is the national party chairperson who essentially runs the committee and works to manage the office, direct the committee staff, and lead fundraising efforts. Every four years, a national convention is held in order to nominate the next presidential candidate and commence their campaigns for presidency. Along with national committees, there are state committees which are homogeneous to national committees except they fixate on electing candidates to state offices. Through this, they are then able to expand their scope and move on to push their candidate to national offices.
