a. the tenth amendment says that the powers of the federal government are limited to those listed in the constitution.
b. today, people are campaigning to amend the constitution to add rights for groups that are still disadvantaged.
c. these americans insisted that citizens individual rights be written down, with some states refusing to ratify the constitution without a bill of rights.
d. most americans know they have certain rights, such as the right to freedom of speech and the right to a fair trial.

Explanation:

• Option A: Talks about the limitation of federal government powers, not about the Constitution's evolution.
• Option B: Mentions that people are campaigning to amend the Constitution to add rights for disadvantaged groups. This shows that the Constitution is not static and can change (evolve) over time as new needs and ideas emerge.
• Option C: Focuses on the past insistence on a bill of rights and states' ratification, not on current or future evolution.
• Option D: Just lists some known rights, not indicating any evolution of the Constitution.

Answer:

B. Today, people are campaigning to amend the Constitution to add rights for groups that are still disadvantaged.
