read aloud
part b

Explanation:

The Sedition Act restricted criticism of the government, which conflicts with the 1st Amendment's protections for freedom of speech and press. The 3rd Amendment addresses quartering of soldiers, the 8th covers cruel/unusual punishment, and the 9th protects unenumerated rights, none of which relate to the core issue of the Sedition Act.

Answer:

C. $1^{st}$ Amendment
