3.7 Your Rights: Freedom of Expression

Question 8 • MI-Government/Civics 2023

Under which circumstances would protesters’ right to assembly most likely be protected?

Answer
A
if protesters were picketing on an alleged criminal’s front lawn
B
if protesters were marching on the statehouse in favor of marriage for all
C
if protesters were inciting others to destroy restaurants serving unhealthy foods
D
if protesters were throwing rocks at police to prevent arrest

Explanation

The First Amendment protects peaceful assembly and expression, including marches advocating for a political or social cause. Marching on the statehouse in favor of marriage equality is a peaceful way to express a viewpoint, so that right would most likely be protected. The other choices involve trespassing, encouraging destruction, or violence, which are not protected as peaceful assembly.
