Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both options A and B in the answer choices are true statements. The First Amendment of the Constitution protects the right of interest groups to petition the government for a redress of grievances and to peaceably assemble. These protections ensure that interest groups have the ability to voice their concerns and advocate for their causes without fear of retribution from the government. While options C and D may be important protections for individuals, they do not directly pertain to the rights of interest groups.
