Which of these is a right only for United States citizens?
APractice any religion
BRun for federal office
CSpeak freely in public
DOwn land and a house
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Run for federal office
1. Some rights belong to everyone living in the country and some belong only to citizens.
2. Two rights belong only to citizens: voting in a federal election and running for federal office.
3. Running for federal office is on that list, so it is the answer.
4. Practicing any religion is freedom of worship, a right of everyone living in the United States.
5. Speaking freely is freedom of speech, again a right of everyone.
6. The trap here is that three options name real rights, but only one of them is limited to citizens.
