Explanation:

• For question 4: The First Amendment protects freedoms like speech, press, and petition. The right to a trial by jury is in other amendments (like the 6th).
• For question 5: The First Amendment's main purpose is to safeguard individual freedoms and expressions (not giving president more power, limiting religion, or creating taxes).
• For question 6: The cartoon shows "FREE PRESS", "MEDIA", etc. as pillars of democracy. So a free press is crucial for a democratic society. Options b is wrong (free press helps democracy exist). Options c and d mention other freedoms not emphasized in the cartoon.

1. d. The right to a trial by jury.
2. c. To protect individual freedoms and expression.
