There is no declaration of rights; and the laws of the general government being paramount [superior] to the laws and constitutions of the several states, the declarations of rights in the separate states are no security. Nor are the people secured even in the enjoyment of the benefits of the common law, which stands here upon no other foundation than its having been adopted by the respective acts forming the constitutions of the several states.… There is no declaration of any kind for preserving the liberty of the press, the trial by jury in civil cases, nor against the danger of standing armies in time of peace.…

Astronomer X: Star formation begins when large fragments of a gas cloud collapse. Each of these fragments typically contains hundreds of times more gas than exists in an individual star. This collapse occurs when the gravitational attraction between the gas particles overcomes the sum of all outward forces. When collapsing gas particles in each fragment close together, local regions of high density are created. These localized regions in turn collapse as separate entities called protostars. The collapse of a protostar begins with the inward movement of particles from the exterior of the protostar. Its collapse stops when outward forces, especially forces that result from the heating of the gas being compressed, balance the gravitational force. This brings a small region of the original cloud into equilibrium and a new star into a stable form. If Astronomer X is correct, which of the following is most likely to initially occur when 2 IGCs in which no stars are forming collide?F. Cold cores form near the boundary of the collision.G. Cold cores form far from the boundary of the collision.H. Individual stars will collapse near the boundary of the collision.J. Large volumes of gas will collapse together near the boundary of the collision.
