• A. First
• B. Second
• C. Fourth
• D. Third

Answer: (A)

Focus on which amendment guards the listed civil liberties. The freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition are enumerated in the First Amendment, which is part of the Bill of Rights adopted in 1791. It protects these five freedoms by limiting what government can do to restrict them. That exact set of rights aligns with the description, so this amendment is the correct one. The other amendments protect different provisions—bearing arms; protection against unreasonable searches and seizures; and the quartering of soldiers—so they do not match the freedoms described.
