Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Option C: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ First Amendment Rights ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The residents' best supporting evidence for their case would be Option C, which is a direct quote from the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
