Question

According to the protest document, what is the duty of americans? to assert and maintain their rights to confine themselves to peaceful measures to submit to intimidation to consent to conscription

Answer 1

I belive the answer is To assert and maintain their rights
All the rights of American had been guaranteed since the creation of first 10 amendments of the constitution.
In order to preserve true democracy, we could say that it is our duty to assert and maintain their rights so there is no-one could form a tyrannical rule in this country (not even the government itself)

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) to assert and maintain their rights.

According to the protest document, the duty of Americans is to assert and maintain their rights.  

The excerpt of the protest document is from the case Chenck v. U.S. 249 U.S. 47 of 1919. On that document was stated that conscription was despotism. On the other side of the document titled “Assert Your Rights”, it read that the Constitution was being violated when “your right to assert your opposition to the draft” was refused to be recognized. That is why the duty of Americans is to assert and maintain their rights.
