Explanation:

First Question:

In the Tinker v. Des Moines case, the Supreme Court ruled that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." So option a is wrong (teachers don't control all expression), option b is wrong (students could wear political gear if it didn't disrupt), option d is wrong (free speech does apply in school). Option c correctly reflects that students have rights at school.

The Bill of Rights (first 10 amendments) protects citizens' rights and limits government power to pass unjust laws. Option b is wrong (it doesn't allow censorship), option c is wrong (it applies in daily life, not just court), option d is wrong (it supports religious freedom, not one religion). So option a is correct as it limits unjust laws.

The Bill of Rights was added to protect personal freedoms (like speech, religion, etc.) that were a concern for anti - Federalists. Option a is wrong (it's not about organizing elections), option b is wrong (it limits federal power, and later incorporated to states), option c is wrong (it doesn't expand presidential duties). So option d is correct.

Answer:

c. Students have rights at school
