The right of people to gather for whatever nonthreatening purpose they desire is?

U.S. Const., Amend. I:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

The clause specifies the "right of the people peaceably to assemble"; therefore a breach of the peace incident to an assembly is not protected. Distinguish "breach of the peace" from "threatening". Obviously, people who feel strongly about the kinds of issues people "petition the Government for a redress of grievances" on can be quite passionate about the expression thereto.

The use of the Word peaceably has been used to support the position that the requirement to obtain licenses and permits as a prerequisite to exercising the right to freedom of assembly is constitutional; it is simply that these could not be constitutionally denied under this clause of Amendment I, although the charging of nominal fees for such licenses and permits has been upheld.

This clause of Amendment I supports the right to freedom of assembly and the right of freedom to petition.
