Which amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to protection against unreasonable searches and seizures?

First Amendment.

Fourth Amendment.

The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. This amendment provides protection against any government official, such as a police officer, searching or seizing your property without a valid reason and without a warrant. The First Amendment, on the other hand, guarantees the freedom of speech, religion, and press. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a fair and speedy trial, while the Eighth Amendment prohibits the government from imposing excessive bail or fines, as well as cruel and unusual punishments. These amendments, while important in their own right, do not address the right to protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, making options A, C, and D incorrect.
