The first amendment protects which rights select all that apply. Is it the right to own your gun the right to fair trial the right to practice a religion or not the right to criticize the government the right of owning property

1 answer

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution primarily protects the following rights:

  1. Right to practice a religion (freedom of religion)
  2. Right to criticize the government (freedom of speech and freedom of the press)

The First Amendment does not specifically address the right to own a gun, the right to a fair trial, or the right of owning property. The right to bear arms is protected by the Second Amendment, the right to a fair trial is addressed in the Sixth Amendment, and property rights are generally covered by the Fifth Amendment.

So, the correct selections from your list are:

  • The right to practice a religion
  • The right to criticize the government
