Question 65 of 128 · American Government · Rights and Responsibilities
What are three rights of everyone living in the United States?
Accepted answers
- Freedom of expression
- Freedom of speech
- Freedom of assembly
- Freedom to petition the government
- Freedom of religion
- The right to bear arms
Any one of these is accepted, unless the question asks for more than one.
Why this is the answer
These rights belong to everyone living in the United States, citizen or not, because the Bill of Rights protects people, not only citizens. The official list gives six answers: freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to petition the government, freedom of religion and the right to bear arms. Speech, religion, assembly and petitioning the government come straight from the First Amendment; the study guide counts five rights or freedoms there, those four plus the press. The right to bear arms comes from the Second Amendment. Name any three from the list. Notice what is not on it: voting and running for office are for citizens only. Memory hook: speak, worship, gather, petition, and bear arms.
