the right to petition the government for redress of grievances
If there is any guarantee in the First Amendment, it's that the government shall not pass any law that would abridge the above rights, but this has and is happening. The people---not the government---first initiated and embedded these and most other rights into their developing Free Society, and officially determined and declared them in Virginia's Declaration of Rights, which served as a pattern for all States. Later, the people prepared statements of rights, as well as resolutions that offered explanations and the true intent. The Ninth Amendment had the people retain all rights, not already in the Constitution, and of all denominations.--- Public Liberty, or rights of the people, collectively, as the public, as well as Individual Liberty, or rights of the person or citizen. The above rights were not guaranteed by the people, who granted them---and the First Amendment simply protected already granted rights by clearly stating that the government cannot abridge (cut short, diminish) these rights.

Name one right guaranteed by the first amendment?
The First Amendment did not grant nor could it guarantee any rights. It was strictly a restrictive clause---prepared days after the ninth amendment that had people retain all rights mentioned in the First Amendment and many others. If there was any guarantee inferred by the First Amendment, it was that the government would not pass any laws that would abridge or cut short the rights -- already granted -- that was mentioned. Just like the Second Amendment which did not grant the right to own and bear arms (which was already in existed) but that the government shall not infringe upon that right. The first 10 amendments were not a Bill of Rights, and the Ninth referred to the Declaration of Rights already in existence in 1776-77, and those initiated and embedded into the developing free society, some for over 150 years in Virginia.
