Which document protects individual freedoms in Georgia?

• A. The United States Constitution
• B. The Preamble to the Georgia Constitution
• C. The Georgia Code
• D. The Bill of Rights

Answer: (D)

A Bill of Rights is a written list of fundamental freedoms that a government guarantees to individuals and protects against government overreach. In Georgia, this document explicitly outlines essential liberties—such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, due process, and protection against unreasonable searches—so it directly conveys the rights residents have. The other options don’t list and safeguard individual rights in the same targeted way: the United States Constitution provides the broader national framework, the Preamble to the Georgia Constitution is introductory and not a rights list, and the Georgia Code consists of statutes rather than a catalog of protected freedoms. So, the Bill of Rights is the best choice because it is the explicit protections of individual freedoms.
