architectural value.The laws affect both governmentbuildings and private property,putting constraints on how and to what extent the structures can be altered,renovated,or replaced.Proponents ofthese laws claim they are necessary for the preservation of history and culture and the architectural integrity of a neighborhood.Opponents of thelaws argue that such laws prevent progress and negatively impact real estate development,building renovation,and building design.  \nCarefully read the following six sources,including the introductory information for each source.Write an essay that synthesizes material from at leastthree of the sources and develops your position on the value,if any,of laws designed to preserve buildings deemed to be of historic importance.  \nSource A(National Parks Service Web site)Source B(Merlino book)Source C(Appelbaum opinion article)Source D(Webb graph)Source E(Martin article)Source F(Rosen cartoon)  \nIn your response you should do the following:
