The correct answer is B. Constitutional rights are protected in the Bill of Rights.

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights is composed by the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States. When the Constitution was ratified by state legislatures, many opponents argued that there was no declaration of rights in the Constitution because it was an aristocratic conspiracy to deprive Americans of their rights. In order to avoid conflict and assure the ratification, the main proponents of the Constitution, the federalists, confirmed that the first Congress would include a declaration of rights.

The Bill of Rights declares, among other things, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and freedom of assembly. It also includes the point that this document should not be interpreted as an exhaustive list of American rights, but as a list of the most important rights.
