right to assemble
Protest permission guarantee
The right to assemble is the freedom to gather peacefully with others, typically for political purposes—protests, rallies, demonstrations.
It's a cornerstone of democratic societies, usually paired with free speech in constitutional protections: The First Amendment guarantees the right to assemble.
Governments may regulate time, place, and manner but cannot ban assembly outright.
