The correct answer is:

• Congress can pass no law respecting or restricting religion, or laws limiting freedoms of speech, assembly, the press, or to petition the government.

This choice accurately reflects the broad protections afforded by the First Amendment, which restricts Congress (and by extension, the government) from enacting laws that would infringe upon the fundamental rights of individuals in areas related to religion, speech, assembly, the press, and petitioning the government.
