Question

Angelina is furious over her city's latest attempt to cover up a

major waste of taxpayer money. As a result, the city has refused
to allow town meetings on the subject. Angelina begins to collect
signatures from local citizens who agree with her disgust in her
local government. The city's refusal to allow town meetings and
Angelina's effort to collect signatures are both protected by the
Bill of Rights.
Which amendment will Angelina cite as her support?

Answer 1

First Amendment

The first amendment gives you the right to petition and freedom of speech. These both protect Angelina because freedom of speech gives Angelina the right to say whatever she believes. Freedom of petition gives Angelina the right to have a petition against the law about her beliefs.

Answer 2

Answer: The First Amendment

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States affords people with the right to freedom of speech which is the right that protects Angelina wanting to talk about use of tax expenditure wastefully at the town meeting.
