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.

Which BEST describes the reason for US involvement in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam
Eddi Din [679]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

What best describes the reason for US involvement in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam was the permanent intent of the United States government to instill the foreign policy of containment during the Cold War years. During that time. the Soviet Union tried to spread Communism over different parts of the world, as was the case of Czechoslovakia, EastmGermany, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, North Korea, North Vietnam, and the Island of Cuba.

That is why the United States tried to impede the spread of Communism at all costs because it went against the economic and political interests. The US attempt to contain Communist influence in Asia and Southeast Asia.​

During the Cold War years, the US and the Soviet Union competed in the arms race, the space race, and the spread/containment of Communism.
