Which of these is a right or freedom that comes from the First Amendment?
AThe freedom of speech
BThe right to bear arms
CThe right to a jury trial
DThe right to own property
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The freedom of speech
1. The First Amendment protects five things: speech, religion, assembly, press, and the right to petition the government.
2. Freedom of speech is on that list, so it is the answer.
3. The right to bear arms is a right of everyone living in the United States, but it does not come from the First Amendment.
4. A jury trial is a protection in court, and the First Amendment is not about court procedure.
5. Owning property is not one of the five First Amendment freedoms either.
6. The trap in this question is that all four options are real rights, so only the source of the right separates them.
