I agree....D

Answer 5

ok thanks. what does per curiam mean? doesn't it just mean a unanimous vote?

Answer 6

I take that back....I thought the answer was the law, but that is not one of the choices.
brief - a written statement that sets forth legal arguments.
per curiam opinion - an unsigned statement of the courts decision.
writ of centiorari - an order from the court to send up records.
congressional amendments - formal change to the text of the written constitution of a nation or state.

I am not sure of the answer...sorry
