2008 civics test · Question 51 · Rights and Responsibilities
What are two rights of everyone living in the United States?
Give 2 of these answers
- freedom of expression
- freedom of speech
- freedom of assembly
- freedom to petition the government
- freedom of religion
- the right to bear arms
What this means
Certain rights belong to everyone living in the United States, whether or not they are citizens. The test asks you to name a few of them:
- Freedom of expression
- Freedom of speech
- Freedom of assembly (gathering peacefully)
- Freedom to petition the government
- Freedom of religion
- The right to bear arms
The 2008 test asks for two of these; the 2025 test asks for three. The answers are the same, so pick the ones easiest for you to say.
A safe, easy set is “freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly.”
Why this is on the test
A key idea on the test is that most rights belong to everyone living in the country, not only to citizens, and this question asks you to name a few of them.
How this question is asked
On the 2008 civics test, the officer asks up to 10 of the 100 questions out loud and you pass by answering 6 correctly. You answer in your own words. There is no multiple choice and nothing to write down for the civics portion. This question is one where you must give 2 correct answers, not just one.
