Question

A dispute over one of these objects was held not to be a political question in the Supreme Court case Zivotofsky v. Clinton. In 2018, the company De La (15[1])Rue lost a contract to Gemalto to produce a new blue-and-gold version of (15[1])these objects. Henley & Partners maintain a namesake index that measures the strength of these things. In 2022, the European Commission referred (-5[1])Malta to the EU Court of Justice over a program in which 1 million euros can be invested in the country to obtain (-5[1])a (*) “golden” one of (10[1])these things. The 1938 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to an organization that provided these objects to refugees named for Fridtjof (10[1])Nansen [FRIT-yoff NAHN-sin]. Canadians and Americans may use a NEXUS card in place of these documents. For 10 points, name these non-visa identity documents that may be presented when crossing an international (10[1])border.
