Which of the following are rights given by the first amendment?

• A. Freedom of Speech
• B. Freedom of Religion
• C. Right to Assemble
• D. All of the choices

Answer: (D)

The First Amendment protects several fundamental freedoms that limit government power over individuals. Freedom of speech lets people express opinions without government censorship. Freedom of religion ensures the free exercise of faith and guards against an official state church. The right to assemble protects peaceful gatherings, including protests, as long as they’re lawful and nonviolent. Because each of these is guaranteed by the First Amendment, the correct choice is that all of them apply. It’s also good to remember the amendment covers additional protections like freedom of the press and the right to petition the government.
