What does the Second Amendment guarantee?

  1. The right to free speech

  2. The right to a fair trial

  3. The right to bear arms

  4. The right to privacy

The correct answer is: The right to bear arms

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms. This amendment states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." This has been interpreted to protect individuals' rights to possess weapons for personal defense and is often central to discussions about gun rights and regulations in the United States. The historical context of this amendment ties back to the Founding Fathers' experiences with British rule, where disarming the populace was seen as a tool of oppression. Thus, the emphasis on the right to bear arms is rooted in the belief in self-defense and the ability to resist tyranny.
