(b) False. By going to http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/Statutes/Statutes.html, you are
presented with The General Laws of Rhode Island. Title 3 concerns Alcoholic
Beverages. Under the General Provisions of the Chapter, you will find the Definitions
section, where you find in section 3-1-1 that a "Beverage" contains five-tenths of one
percent (.5) or more of alcohol by weight.

Second Session > Roll Calls 400 Thru 499 > 450, you can easily find that Rep. Archer
voted in favor of passing this bill. If you accidentally went to another part of the site,

Done
b)
United States Code Annotated
c)
United States Statutes at Large
d)
United States Code Congressional & Administrative News
(C) is the correct answer. Session laws are found in Statutes at Large, which is ordered
by public law number. U.S.C. is the codification of these statutes, and until reenacted
by Congress into positive law, they are only evidence of the law. U.S.C.A. and
U.S.C.C.A.N. are unofficial versions of U.S.C. and Statutes at Large, respectively. If you
missed this question, see the Process of Legal Research at Chapter 5.
