Which of the following is NOT listed as a constitutional or civil right?

• A. 1st Amendment
• B. Code of conduct
• C. Equal Protection
• D. Due Process

Answer: (B)

You’re being asked to distinguish a constitutional or civil right from an organizational policy. Constitutional or civil rights are protections guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution or by federal/state law, not by a school or organization’s rules. The First Amendment protects freedoms like speech, religion, assembly, press, and petition. The Equal Protection clause ensures people receive equal treatment under the law, and Due Process ensures fair procedures when rights or legal interests may be affected. A Code of Conduct, by contrast, is a policy outlining expected behavior within a setting. It governs how people should act, but it does not itself grant a protected right under constitutional or civil law. Therefore, the Code of Conduct is not listed as a constitutional or civil right.
