60-Second Civics: Episode 2770, Second Amendment
How the Second Amendment continues to be interpreted in many ways.
What 2010 court case ruled that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms?
a. District of Columbia v. Heller
b. United States v. Miller
c. Citizens United v. FEC
d. McDonald v. Chicago　
Terrific! Choice d is correct.

＊　Ａについて
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), was a landmark case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held in a 5-4 decision that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution applies to federal enclaves（包域） and protects an individual's right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. The decision did not address the question of whether the Second Amendment extends beyond federal enclaves to the states, which was addressed later by McDonald v. Chicago (2010). It was the first Supreme Court case to decide whether the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense.修正2条が個人の銃保持権を保護するかにについて言及した始めての判決
＊　Ｂについて
United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939), was a Supreme Court case that involved a Second Amendment challenge to the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). Miller is often cited in the ongoing American gun politics debate, as both sides claim that it supports their position.　1934年の全国銃法に関する判決で、銃規制議論の中でよく引用される
＊　Ｃについて
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission is a U.S. constitutional law and corporate law case dealing with the regulation of campaign spending by organizations.　組織の使う選挙費用の統制、憲法と会社法に関する判決
＊　Ｄについて
McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 742 (2010), is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States that determined whether the Second Amendment applies to the individual states. The Court held that the right of an individual to "keep and bear arms" protected by the Second Amendment is incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and applies to the states. 個人の武器携帯の権利は、適正手続きの中に含まれ、州に適用される
