What does the Mexican Constitution address regarding citizens' rights and civil liberties?

It guarantees only property rights and economic freedoms.

It outlines civil liberties but denies due process.

It provides for constitutional rights, including freedom of expression, assembly, and due process.

It provides for constitutional rights, including freedom of expression, assembly, and due process; Amparo is a legal remedy to challenge government actions violating rights.

The key idea here is that the Mexican Constitution protects a broad range of civil liberties and provides a concrete way to defend them. It guarantees fundamental rights such as freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, and due process, not just property or economic rights. What makes the correct option stand out is the inclusion of amparo, a specific legal remedy that allows individuals to challenge government actions or laws that infringe those constitutional rights. This remedy is a central mechanism for enforcing rights in Mexico, giving people a direct path to court to stop or remedy unconstitutional government conduct. The other choices miss either the full scope of rights or the essential enforcement mechanism, whereas amparo ties the protections to a concrete, usable process for safeguarding them.
