Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The First Amendment protects the right of citizens to peaceably assemble, which has been interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court as the right to gather in non-violent groups for the purpose of expressing a message or idea. The right to assemble is subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions, but it is still a protected right. The First Amendment does not protect assemblies that disrupt the peace or are unlicensed.
