Which of the following was guaranteed by most state constitutions?

A. universal suffrage
B. the dominance of a state church
C. the tyranny of the majority
D. freedom of religion

Universal suffrage and freedom of religion are features of many constitutions, but they are not necessarily guaranteed by most constitutions. The distinction is that these principles are held up in many constitutions, but other constitutions do not necessarily grant universal freedom of religion and can often give preference to one religion over another.
