• Freedom to express yourself.
  
  
• Freedom to worship as you wish.
  
  
• Right to a prompt, fair trial by jury.
  
  
• Right to vote in elections for public officials.
  
  
• Right to apply for federal employment requiring U.S. citizenship.
  
  
• Right to run for elected office.
  
  
• Freedom to pursue “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
