Florida Civics EOC Practice Test

What does the 1st Amendment protect?

1. The right to privacy

2. The right to bear arms

3. Freedom of Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, and Petition

4. The rights of accused persons in criminal cases

The correct answer is: Freedom of Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, and Petition

The 1st Amendment specifically protects the freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition. Option A is incorrect because the right to privacy is protected under the 4th Amendment. Option B is incorrect because the right to bear arms is protected under the 2nd Amendment. Option D is incorrect because the rights of accused persons in criminal cases are protected under the 6th Amendment. It is important to note that while the 1st Amendment does protect our right to these freedoms, there are limits and restrictions on them in certain situations, such as in cases of national security or incitement to violence.
