Answer:

The correct answer is  the Fourth Amendment.

Explanation:

King of England George III (1738-1820) had in his American colony a great source of income thanks to the numerous customs taxes collected from them but, the colonists found different ways to work around the taxes. In front of this, King George started to impose the "<em>writs of assistance</em>" which were sort of warrants with wide scope. British officials were able to search into places were they believed contraband goods were stored or to interrogate anybody who they believed guilty of trading them. The harassment was also one of the factors that led to the American Revolution  (1776) and later on, the creation of the American Constitution.

The Fourth Amendment of the United States of America establishes:

<em>“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”</em>

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

An example that shows how Romans gave away citizenship rights in measured amounts can be seen when we look at the difference between the Latini and  the Foederati.

The Latini were people who were born outside of Rome but on the Italian peninsula. Their citizenship allowed them to do business with Rome, and travel and live within the Empire. However, they were not allowed to have a Roman marriage. The Foederati, on the other hand, were the citizens of states that had obligations towards Rome. They were given limited citizenship rights in exchange for military service.
