sopa should not be a law because it is too difficult to enforce.
the u. s. government lacks the constitutional right to make laws about the internet.
people should protest sopa because it goes against their fourth amendment rights.
the law is unfair because it may violate citizens' ability to produce and access information.

using the passage below, answer the question that follows.

the tuscarora people lived in the eastern areas of north carolina in the 17th century. as european settlers moved into their homelands, tensions between these groups rose. european settlers moved onto native lands without apology. soon tuscarora women and children were being abducted and sold into slavery by the settlers. tuscarora hunting parties were attacked and killed or sold into slavery. in 1710, prior to the outbreak of the tuscarora war, the tuscarora people made a plea to the governor of pennsylvania. desperate for peace, the tuscarora begged for sanctuary in pennsylvania. the speakers for the tribe talked of women and children unable to gather food and play in the forest for fear of being captured. they talked of not being able to hunt freely to support their families. they talked, above all, of a desire for peace between the settlers and themselves, even if it required leaving their homelands. however, the governor of pennsylvania was reluctant to give them sanctuary. among other issues, the governor feared an alliance between the tuscarora and the pennsylvania iroquois. he feared increasing the native american presence in pennsylvania would upset the settlers already there. ultimately, the tuscarora had to make the best of their hard life in north carolina. the harassment from settlers did not stop, and in 1711, war broke out between the settlers and the tuscarora.

the history of the iroquois nation
the duration of the tuscarora war
the exact cause of the tuscarora war
the location of the tuscarora tribal lands
