The most accurate statement is:

Freedom and citizenship were only guaranteed for less than half of the people in the U.S.

In the early U.S., citizenship and the rights associated with it were primarily granted to white males, excluding women, enslaved individuals, Indigenous peoples, and many free Black individuals. Therefore, the broader population did not enjoy full freedom and citizenship rights.
