When was the first law written down?
The first law ever made was to obey the king. Whoever did not obey the king would have to suffer the consequences. That's when people became creative. They found other ways not to obey the king so new laws needed to be created. A law basically serves the one who made them up. A king, a government. Without laws, people would just do whatever they want and there would never be an order. No one would prosper. Like in a game. If there are no rules, what's the point of it? So, laws are made in order to make the law makers prosper. Simple.

How do you make the registered symbol?
Answer 1: A "registered" trademark symbol is the capital letter "R" with a circle around it. And it's always in superscript, to the immediate right of the word or phrase that has been trademarked.
Example: Coca-Cola®
However, the fact that there's a "registered" trademark, as opposed to just a plain ol' trademark, suggests that there are other kinds of trademarks. And that's a correct assumption... there are.
An unregistered trademark is the capital letters "TM" to the immediate right of the trademarked word or phrase, also superscripted.
Example: Coca-Cola™
There's also such a thing as a "service mark," which is the capital letters "SM" where the "TM" is seen in the immediately-above example.
None of this is to be confused with a copyright notice, which is the capital letter "C" with a circle around it, but not usually superscripted; and usually follows the word "Copyright" and appears before the year in which the copyright is claimed.
Example: Copyright © 2012 by John Doe
The questioner didn't ask what trademarks are, though, and so I'll not go into that here.
Answer 2: If the question is how do you make your computer PRINT a circle-R, that would depend on the computer and what software you're running. However, one standard keying system allows you to hold the ALT key and type on the numeric pad to create special symbols. The Circle-R would be Alt-0174, or on a laptop perhaps FN-0174. Most PCs also have a character map from which you can cut and paste any available symbol.
Answer 3:
On the Mac, simply hold down the "Option" key and type the letter "r." The Mac operating system uses hot keys for many common typographical symbols:
Option r: ®
Option g: ©
Option 2: ™
What constitutional clause is used to determine if a state law conflicts with federal law?
In the US Constitution, the Article VI, Section 2, Supremacy Clause declares federal law supersedes state law if the two are in conflict, but it's inaccurate to say the "clause is used to determine if a state law conflicts with federal law." Any part of the Constitution that provides guidelines for a specific law, and applies equally to the state and federal government, may be used to make that determination; the Supremacy Clause simply states if a state law conflicts with federal law, the federal law prevails.

How much income can you earn in 2010 and collect Social Security at age 62?
For the 2010 tax year, the answer depends on your age and whether you're drawing Social Security benefits for retirement or disability.
Retirement
If you've reached full retirement age (65 for people born prior to 1943; 66 for people born between 1943 and 1954), there is no limit to how much you can earn.
In the year you reach full retirement age, you can earn $37,680 annually, but for every $3.00 over the limit, $1.00 is withheld from your benefits until the month your reach full retirement age.
If you are under full retirement age, you can earn $14,160 per year without incurring a penalty. For every $2.00 over the limit, $1.00 is withheld from benefits.
Disability
People on disability can earn up to $1,000 per month ($12,000 per year) for most disabilities, or $1,640 per month ($19,680 per year) for anyone legally blind. Earning more than these limits would be considered engaging in Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA), would trigger a continuing disability review, and likely result in an end to the person's disability status with Social Security.
Any month a disabled person earns more than $720.00 is counted toward the nine-month trial work period, and may result in a continuing disability review (CDR).

Can a felon with a sentence of less than one year own a gun?
a felon, I believe, cannot own a gun, regardless of their sentence. You can call your state representative to check, but I'm pretty sure, because they do background checks. I think they disregard midemenors, but felonies, i think they wouldn't let you own a gun.
ADDED: Regardless of the length of the sentence you received - it is the offense you were convicted of which counts. If you were convicted of a felony crime, you cannot possess a firearm of any type (exept certain specified antiques).
