Answer 1

In the context of U.S. territories, the following civil rights are generally granted:

1. Trial by jury - This right is typically granted in U.S. territories, similar to the states.

2. Freedom of religion - This fundamental right is protected under the First Amendment, which applies to U.S. territories as well.

3. Electing local officials - Residents of U.S. territories often have the ability to elect local officials, depending on the specific laws of the territory.

However, U.S. territories do not have full Congressional representation; they have a non-voting delegate in the House of Representatives but no representation in the Senate, thus this option is not correct.

So, the correct answers are:

• Trial by jury
• Freedom of religion
• Electing local officials
