Which First Amendment freedom lets people gather together in a group?
AThe right to bear arms
BThe right to a jury trial
CThe right to own property
DThe freedom of assembly
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The freedom of assembly
1. Assembly means coming together in a group, such as a meeting or a march.
2. The First Amendment protects the freedom of assembly, so people may gather without asking permission.
3. The same amendment also protects speech, religion, press, and petitioning the government.
4. Bearing arms means carrying weapons, which has nothing to do with gathering in a group.
5. A jury trial happens inside a courtroom and is not a freedom to assemble.
6. Owning property is about what a person holds, not about meeting with others.
