Ninth AmendmentA group of peaceful protesters assemble outside of a federal building.Which of the following rows accurately matches the event with the amendment that addresses it?

Explanation

The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and generally requires police to obtain a warrant before searching a home. Therefore, the FBI securing a warrant before entering a suspect’s home is correctly matched with the Fourth Amendment. The other events involve different amendments: protection from racial discrimination is associated with the Fourteenth Amendment, protection against self-incrimination with the Fifth Amendment, and peaceful assembly with the First Amendment.
