Question
A 1960s change to a law of this type led to a rash of "Kennedy husbands" and "Kennedy fathers." The acronym "O H I O" was used to protest a 1940 law of this type, also called the Burke-Wadsworth Act. Destroying documents used to enforce these laws was ruled illegal in the case of US v. O'Brien. On his first day in office, Jimmy Carter issued Proclamation 4483 that pardoned people who had violated one of these laws and (*) fled to Canada. Cards used to enforce one of these laws were widely burned in the 1960s. These laws were enforced by the Selective Service System until a move to an all-volunteer system. For 10 points, name these laws that were "dodged" by young American men who did not want to be sent to Vietnam. ■END■
