Dejuan is the managing editor and owner of a small local paper, the saratoga register, that has published a series of well-researched articles alleging corruption and malfeasance in the mayor’s office of his town. when police confiscated the register’s computers and printing facilities, they were violating which freedom protected by the bill of rights? select one: a. freedom of the press b. the protection against quartering soldiers c. the right to keep and bear arms d. the right to freedom of religion

The correct answer is A. Freedom of the press

Explanation:

Freedom of the press refers to the right of communicating news, events or information on any topic through media, for example, radio, television or newspapers without being restricted, except if the information threatens national security or goes against the rights of others.

This freedom is the one police violated in the case presented because by confiscating computers and printing facilities they are restricting Dejuan's right to inform the community about the corruption and crimes of the Mayor's office which is part of freedom of the press.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
