Question

Which of the following statements best reflects the rights of citizens that are protected by the bill of rights

Answer 1

B) Every Citizen has the right to practice any religion without fear of the government interference. Let's look at the options and see if any of the 1st 10 amendments supports it. A) Every Citizen has the right to vote at the age of 18, regardless of race, gender, or religion. * This one is a slam dunk. Slavery was legal under the original constitution and that was so until the 13th amendment. And then woman's right to vote wasn't permitted until the 19th amendment. And finally the 26th amendment made the voting age 18. So this choice is wrong a lot of ways. B) Every Citizen has the right to practice any religion without fear of the government interference. * This looks good. The 1st amendment allows for freedom of speech and freedom of religion. So this is the correct choice. C) Every citizen has the right to quality healthcare provided by the government. * None of the amendments of the constitution claim this, so it's wrong. D) Every Citizen has the right to refuse a search of his or her home under any circumstances. * Sorry, the 4th amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. But you can't refuse a search "under any circumstances". So this choice is also wrong.
