It is our right as americans to peacefully protest those issues that matter most. more than 200,000 people gathered for the march on washington in 1963 to demand equality for african americans. their efforts effect change. change rarely occurs without action or confrontation. gandhi led the salt march to fight the growing british tax on salt. some believe that peaceful protests lead to violent actions and should be banned. if we lose our right to peacefully protest, our democratic nation as we know it will cease to exist. which sentence best serves as the missing claim in this paragraph? one important supreme court case about freedom of speech is tinker v. des moines. we really don’t have the right to freedom of speech, and this theory has been supported throughout history. the first amendment right to freedom of speech and the right to protest peacefully are rights that must be protected.

C- The First Amendment right to freedom of speech and the right to protest peacefully are rights that must be protected.

Explanation:

Which sentence best serves as the missing claim in this paragraph?

A- One important Supreme Court case about freedom of speech is Tinker v. Des Moines.

B- We really don’t have the right to freedom of speech, and this theory has been supported throughout history.

C- The First Amendment right to freedom of speech and the right to protest peacefully are rights that must be protected.

The best options are A and C, nevertheless, the option A is just another example of what a peaceful protest can achieve. Tinker v. Des Moines and some friends decided to wear black bracelets at school as a way to protest against the Vietnam war, the school made the stop that protest by not letting them go to classes so they decided to wear black clothes the whole year. The school presented the case in the court but, guess what ?  the kids won!! The Court ruled that the First Amendment applied to public schools, and school officials could not censor student discourse unless it disrupted the educational process.

As a claim missing in this text is the fact that the freedom of speech is our right and can't be censored !! That's the claim. The First Amendment right to freedom of speech and the right to protest peacefully are rights that must be protected. Option A serves as an argument to this claim.
