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

  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 religion. This amendment also guarantees freedom of speech, press, assembly, and petition. The other options, the Second, Fourth, and Eighth Amendments, do not address the issue of freedom of religion and are therefore incorrect. The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms, the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and the Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
