Which amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms?

  1. First Amendment.

  2. Second Amendment.

  3. Fourth Amendment.

  4. Eighth Amendment.

The correct answer is: Second Amendment.

The Second Amendment is the only one out of the four choices that specifically mentions the right to bear arms. The other amendments do not mention this right and instead protect other rights such as freedom of speech (First Amendment), protection from unreasonable searches and seizures (Fourth Amendment), and protection from excessive bail or fines (Eighth Amendment). It is important to note that the interpretation of the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms has been a highly debated and controversial topic in American politics.
