The Right To Assemble Peacefully

Congress shall make no law... abridging... the right of the people to peaceably assemble..

-Amendment I of the U.S. Constitution. 

This is the right to peaceably assemble. We can meet with people and talk about politics if we want to. We can 

organize a parade. We can gather and worship in the way we choose. You may have noticed that this right is tied to 

others I've already discussed such as the freedoms of religion and expression. We can assemble and speak our minds 

and choose to worship or not to worship, it's all constitutional. However, it's unlawful to gather a mob and go 

 fire BB guns at your local courthouse. Notice the word "peaceably"in the quote! There are many possibilities secured 

by this right, and I'm thankful it's included in the Constitution.
