Question 46 • Principles of American Democracy

Which individual freedom is protected under the Constitution?

Answer
A
the freedom to assemble together for peaceful meetings
B
the freedom to tell lies that damage another person’s reputation
C
the freedom from being arrested lawfully
D
the freedom from having property taken lawfully

Explanation

The First Amendment protects the right to assemble peacefully, including meeting with others for peaceful purposes. So the protected freedom is the freedom to assemble together for peaceful meetings. The Constitution does not protect a freedom from lawful arrest or lawful taking of property, and knowingly harmful lies about someone may be treated as defamation.
