Agent #4

: Finally you got to me.
I am the mistress of an unusual mountain - Pravodroma

Each correct answer gives you one point and the opportunity to take a step up. If you manage to plant the Russian flag on the top of the mountain, the team will receive 10 bonus points. Readiness No. 1, let's start conquering the pravodrom!

Chapter 2 of the main document of the country formulates the rights and freedoms of man and citizen. This chapter is quite voluminous and covers all areas of our lives. Listing all the points will take a lot of time. Therefore, we will take a different route. You need within 3

minutes to distribute only some rights and freedoms into four categories: personal, political, cultural and socio-economic.

Personal:

Everyone has the right to life.
Everyone has the right to freedom and personal security.

Everyone has the right to assemble peacefully,
without weapons, hold rallies, marches and pickets.

Everyone is guaranteed freedom of thought and speech.

Everyone has the right to education.
Everyone is guaranteed freedom of literary, artistic, scientific, technical and other types of creativity and teaching. Intellectual property is protected by law.

Labor is free. Everyone has the right to freely use their ability to work, choose their type of activity and profession.

Along with rights and freedoms, a citizen of the Russian Federation also has responsibilities; they are reflected in several articles of the Constitution. You need to list them. As a hint, you will receive eight keywords, there are exactly as many of them as the responsibilities of a Russian citizen according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
