1st Amendment (Freedom of Assembly)

Source: "Signs of improving climate in Russia" May 6, 2010
Constitutional Connection: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...the right of the people peaceably to assemble.."


Analysis of the Connection: In the old days just as i stated in one of my other blogs. Martin Luther King has changed the world in so many ways. Si used him in my example of "Freedom of Speech", but I'm also going to use him for my example of "Freedom of Assembly." Martin Luther King Jr. was apart of the Civil Rights Movement and changed a lot of different things. People all over the world (even some whites) came out to walk with him to changed different types of segregation in the world. They changed the buses, so now African Americans can sit anywhere in the world. They can also pay in the front of the bus, and stay in the front of the bus. If the "Freedom of Assembly" was not in The Constitution of the United States of America African Americans will still be on the back of the bus. Even today Reven Al-Sharpton is getting people around the world to come to Arizona because there is a law that lets the police check cars to see if there is immigrants in it. They also have the power to kick them out of the United States of America. If there was no "Freedom of assembly" there would be no people to go out there and help the people of Arizona.
