________Mooney and Holly are at odds over the location of the boundary line dividing their

because of which constitutional amendment?

overhears the arresting officer say that they are going to throw the book at her for doing such a
lowly thing to such a nice old lady. Gabby knows that she is a little harsh at times, but she
chuckles at the comment because she knows that her penalty cannot be too harsh for such a minor

a gun without caution, but we recognize the right to keep the weapon to defend yourself and that
which is rightfully yours. This is protected under which constitutional amendment?
