Answer 1

The two correct answers that show how the U.S. government has intervened to protect the rights of citizens are:

1. The Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship to all those born in the United States.
2. The Nineteenth Amendment grants women the right to vote in the United States.

The Fourteenth Amendment helps ensure that anyone born in the U.S. is recognized as a citizen, and the Nineteenth Amendment specifically grants women the right to vote, both of which are significant protections of citizens' rights. The other options do not reflect government intervention to protect rights.
