Which term refers to the document providing fundamental civil liberties, including freedom of speech and worship?

• A. Bill of Rights
• B. First Amendment
• C. Due process of law
• D. Common good

Answer: (B)

The Bill of Rights. This name refers to the collection of the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution that protects fundamental liberties, including freedom of speech and freedom of worship. The First Amendment is one part of that document, laying out specific protections for speech, religion, and other rights, but the term for the whole set of protections is the Bill of Rights. The other options point to a single amendment (not the whole document), a principle about fair legal procedures, or a civic idea, none of which describe the document itself. So the correct term for the document containing these civil liberties is the Bill of Rights.
