Which United States Supreme Court decision is based on the First Amendment?

  1. Engel v. Vitale

  2. Dred Scott v. Sandford

  3. Tinker v. Des Moines

  4. Marbury v. Madison

The correct answer is: Tinker v. Des Moines

The First Amendment guarantees the freedom of speech, religion, press, and assembly. Engel v. Vitale was a landmark decision that addressed the issue of religious freedom, specifically in public schools. Dred Scott v. Sandford was a case about slavery and citizenship, not related to the First Amendment. Marbury v. Madison established the concept of judicial review, which is not tied to the First Amendment. Therefore, the only option that directly relates to the First Amendment is Tinker v. Des Moines, which ruled that students have the right to express their opinions and beliefs in schools, as long as it does not disrupt the educational process.
