Freedom to Assemble

By Mary Griffin

Having the right to assemble to protest or celebrate is an American freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment. When important issues arise, it's not unusual to see people assembled in front of city halls or in other central locations. This is a way to amplify their ideas and persuade others to consider their point of view. But there are limitations to this right too. This accessible book, created with the struggling reader in mind, explains more about this constitutional right and how it has been tested in law courts over time. Readers will appreciate the photographs and fact boxes that support the essential concepts.
