When Pete Seeger appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1955, he refused to answer the committee's questions about

A. the Fifth Amendment, which says you can't be forced to testify
against yourself.
B. the Sixth Amendment, which guarantees a speedy trial by an
impartial jury.
C. the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech.
D. the Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable
search and seizure.
