Which amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to freedom of assembly?

  1. First Amendment.

  2. Second Amendment.

  3. Fourth Amendment.

  4. Eighth Amendment.

The correct answer is: First Amendment.

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to freedom of assembly. The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms, the Fourth Amendment guarantees protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, and the Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishment. While these amendments are important aspects of United States rights and protections, none of them specifically guarantee the right to freedom of assembly like the First Amendment does. Therefore, A is the correct answer.
