Read the following scenario, and answer the questions below.

Long famous as a symbol of the United States, the bald eagle is also famous for its population decline and recovery during the 20th century. The bald eagle was declared endangered in the United States in 1967, when its population in the United States had declined to under 500 breeding pairs. The bald eagle was delisted in 1995 when its numbers had rebound to ~5,000 breeding pairs. An Illinois woman was convicted of violating the Lacey Act of 1900 and Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940 after she gave Hillary Clinton a dream catcher that contained bald eagle feathers in 1994. The Lacey Act is a federal law that prohibits trade in wildlife and plants that have been illegally taken or possessed, and the Bald Eagle Protection Act (more recently amended to become the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act) is federal legislation that prohibits the possession of eagle parts, feathers, eggs, or nests without a permit. Typically, only Native Americans, raptor centers, and zoologists are able to obtain such permits.
