Explanation:

1. For the first question: The core idea is that citizens must actively protect their rights to keep them. Option C states the Constitution (which enshrines citizens' rights) may face challenges, and U.S. citizens must keep defending its principles, directly matching the idea.
2. For the second question: Brandeis' claim is that the title of citizen is superior to that of President in a democracy, meaning citizens hold ultimate power. Option B explains that the right to vote keeps power in citizens' hands, limiting politicians' power, which supports the claim that citizens have greater authority than government leaders.
3. For the third question: Note: Since the photograph is not provided, this answer assumes the photo depicts civic participation like voting. Option C focuses on voting as a key right that keeps power with citizens, which is a common illustration for "Rights Of A Citizen". If the photo showed protest, Option B would apply, but voting is a standard example.
4. For the fourth question: Option A contrasts the right to protest (a citizen right shown in group action) with the responsibility to participate in government (which can include individual or structured civic acts), a clear comparison of rights vs. responsibilities related to citizenship.
