DESCRIPTION Since the founding of our country, Americans have understood the value of being able to associate and assemble. Our founders understood and believed the concept of forming “associations” as important to the future of our country, so much so, that they wrote it into the United States Constitution.
The First Amendment (Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression) reads: “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.”1
