Which of the following is NOT a right protected by the Bill of Rights?

The correct answer is the right to vote in federal elections, as this right is not explicitly protected by the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights, which comprises the first ten amendments to the Constitution, primarily addresses individual liberties and protections from government overreach, focusing on rights such as freedom of speech, the right to a speedy trial, and freedom of religion.

The right to vote has been addressed through subsequent amendments to the Constitution, notably the Fifteenth, Nineteenth, and Twenty-fourth Amendments, which prohibit voting discrimination based on race, gender, and other factors. Thus, while voting is a vital civic responsibility and protected by law, it is not one of the individual rights explicitly enumerated within the initial Bill of Rights.
