assembly rights
Protest permission guarantee
Assembly rights are the legally protected freedom to gather peacefully with others, typically for political, religious, or social purposes.
In the United States, this right is guaranteed by the First Amendment: Protesters invoked their assembly rights to march on city hall.
Governments may impose reasonable restrictions on time, place, and manner, but cannot prohibit peaceful gatherings based on their message.
