Freedom of Assembly

1.What is your right?
2.Describe what it means to exercise your right.
3.What limitations exist on your right?
4.Why do those limitations exist?
5.If you had to give up this right, what would you want in return?

1. The Right of freedom of Assembly.

2. "That the people have the right peaceably to assemble for their common good . . ." It means that people have the right to come together for their common good. Without this right simple things like going to church or hanging out with friends might be challenged. This became a right because there were religious groups, and groups that talked about how they didnt agree with him, so if they were caught congregating they would all be jailed.

3. There are no limitations on my right, unless there is a threat to national security and public safety.

4. There are limitations on national security and public safety so that a large group of people cant hurt themsevles or other people.

5. If i had to give up this right i would want another way to get together with people i know and love.

6. This right exits because people should have the right to congregate if they please so long as they dont have violent or wrong intentions. This is also a right because no one group should be able to prevent another group from doing what they want to do, and doing what the other group wants them to do. If this would happen the united states would be contredicting themselves. This would prevent people be equal. People should be also able to fight for something they feel strongly about in a non violent way. When congregated and fighting people can find strength in numbers so they can get more accomplished in a group.
