<span>The correct answers are: 1)D The statement refers to a situation in which the rights of other people are interfered by the guilty party, who cannot plead innocence through the right of "freedom of speech", as it is relatively "inferior"or of no importance considering the transgression of others' rights.
It is not an example of absolute, natural rights nor of civil rights (although it is about freedom of speech, which is a civil right), since its focus is about the peculiar situation, regarding relative rights.
2)B Civil liberties are a protective form of freedoms, or "liberties" which cannot be touched by the government, without due process.
3)B The Constitution initially didn't have a bill of rights and this became a controversial issue, focusing on the necessity to limit the governement's power.</span>

Consider that americans, or europeans in particular, wanted all the land they could get their hands on and didn't want to share any of it. As a result their desires were shown in nativism.
