Answer 1

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects several fundamental rights, including freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. Let's analyze each option:A. Purchasing a handgun to use for personal protection and keeping it loaded at all times - This action is more related to the Second Amendment, which concerns the right to bear arms.B. Encouraging a group of people to demonstrate their anger toward the government through violence - The First Amendment does not protect speech that incites violence or lawless actions.C. Participating in religious services that many members of a community find offensive - The First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion, even if the practices are unpopular or offensive to some.D. Protesting by blocking the entrance of a business that treats its workers poorly - While the First Amendment protects the right to protest, it does not protect actions that involve illegal activities, such as trespassing or obstructing access to a business.Therefore, the action most likely protected under the First Amendment is:C. Participating in religious services that many members of a community find offensive.
