Read each speaker's point of view about the importance of the Second Amendment. Then answer the question that follows:
• Speaker 1: The Second Amendment was created to insure that the citizen militias that
protected the United States in the 1790s would have weapons to defend the nation in times of
war.
• Speaker 2: The Second Amendment states that the right of the people to own weapons can not
be taken way which means that it is unconstitutional for a government to prohibit legal gun
ownership
• Speaker 3: The national government now provides the military with the weapons that are used
to protect the nation. This means that the Second Amendment is no longer needed.
What speaker would most likely strongly oppose a Constitutional amendment to repeal the
Second Amendment?

The early explorers in north america founded settlements and named them after places or people from their home country. they often added the word new to the town or city name from their home country. this is why we have place names such as new hampshire and new england in north america. the places they are named after tell you where in europe the explorers came from. for example, british settlers named the state of new hampshire after the english county called hampshire. spanish explorers named many settlements after catholic saints. for example, san francisco was named after saint francis of assisi, a twelfth-century catholic priest. make a list of places (states, regions, or towns) whose names show similar connections. make sure you find at least three to four places that show a connection to each of the three nations—spain, france, and england. you can start your research with these resources: maps of north america french place names in the united states spanish place names in the united states the new england colonies us colonial history
