Respuesta :

The answer is B. I'm 98% sure.

Answer:

B. Freedom of the press is addressed in our county's First Amendment to the Constitution.

Explanation:

A claim of fact is a statement of truth or fact made about something or someone, therefore, subjective statements such as option A and C, and claims that are not supported with evidence like option D are not examples of claims of fact. Option B, on the other, does state something proven to be true, as the 1rst Amendment states the following:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
