What question did District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) answer? What question(s) did it leave unanswered?
(37) 
Answered by Examlex AI CopilotDistrict of Columbia v. Heller (2008) answered the question of whether the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm for self-defense within the home. The Supreme Court ruled that it does, affirming that the Second Amendment guarantees the individual right to keep and bear arms.
However, the decision in Heller left several questions unanswered. It did not address the issue of whether the Second Amendment protects the right to possess firearms outside the home, such as in public spaces. It also did not provide clear guidance on the types of firearms and ammunition that are protected under the Second Amendment, leaving room for future legal challenges and interpretations. Additionally, the ruling did not establish a standard for evaluating the constitutionality of gun control laws, leaving the door open for further litigation on this issue.

Is Black's position in Adamson consistent with his position in Duncan? Why?
(28) Answered by Examlex AI CopilotTo provide an accurate answer to whether Black's position in Adamson is consistent with his position in Duncan, I would need specific details about the cases or situations referred to by "Adamson" and "Duncan," as well as information about who Black is and what positions he took in each case. Without this context, it's impossible to determine the consistency of Black's positions.
In legal contexts, for example, "Black" could refer to a judge or a lawyer, and "Adamson" and "Duncan" could be the names of court cases. If that's the case, one would need to review the legal opinions or arguments presented by Black in both cases to determine if there is consistency.
If you can provide more details or clarify the context of your question, I would be happy to attempt a more specific answer.
