a. the right to an attorney if one is accused of a crime
b. the right to assemble in protest of a government action
c. the right to own firearms without government interference
d. the right to publish false accusations against a government official

The right to assemble in protest of a government action is protected by the First Amendment. Option B is correct.

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents the government from making laws which respect an establishment of religion, prohibit the free exercise of religion, or limit the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.

The right that is protected by the first amendment is the right to assemble in protest of government action, therefore, the correct answer is B.

The first amendment to the US constitution stops the government from enacting any law which controls the creation of religion, preventing the free exercise of religion. The amendment also further prevents the government from making laws that will abridge or truncate the freedom of the press, the freedom of speech and the right to assemble peacefully in protest of government action.

The first amendment to the United States Constitution was adopted in December 1971 and it was part of the ten amendments that make up the bill of rights.

However, the bill of rights is a document that protects the rights of the people under the United States law.

In 1787, some political class, which also include Alexandra Hamilton and James Madison assembled to proposed a new constitution of the United States.

The anti-federalist, led by Patrick Henry were against the ratification of the constitution, the anti-federalists opposed the ratification because they believed the federal government will be too powerful and this would be detriment of the states
