Question

how does freedom of expression protect individual liberty?
○ it keeps people from complaining about violations of their rights.
○ it protects rights by creating a society where other rights are not in danger.
○ it helps control the government by allowing people to disagree, protest, or ask for change.
○ it keeps the government from controlling whom people meet with and what they think or say.

Explanation:

Freedom of expression safeguards individual liberty by preventing governmental overreach into personal thought, association, and speech. The correct option directly addresses this core protection, while other options are incorrect: the first option is the opposite of its purpose, the second is overly vague, and the third focuses on government control rather than the direct protection of individual autonomy.

Answer:

D. It keeps the government from controlling whom people meet with and what they think or say.
