One significant case involving the two rights was United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875). There, the Supreme Court held that citizens may "assemble for the purpose of petitioning Congress for a redress of grievances." Essentially, it was held that the right to assemble was secondary, while the right to petition was primary. Later cases, however, have expanded the meaning of the right to assembly. Hague v. CIO, 307 U.S. 496 (1939), for instance, refers to the right to assemble for the "communication of views on national questions" and for "disseminating information."]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution Tue, 03 Feb 2009 12:34:56 -0800 http://longshotalpha.stumbleupon.com/review/29887308/ longshotalpha - Neato]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:38:52 -0700 http://prairiegirl66.stumbleupon.com/review/25241203/ prairiegirl66 - so important to remember these days: "The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a national religion by the Congress or the preference of one religion over another, or religion over non-religion. Originally, the First Amendment only applied to the federal government. Subsequently, under the incorporation doctrine, certain selected provisions were applied to states. It was not, however, until the middle and later years of the twentieth century that the Supreme Court began to interpret the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses in such a manner as to restrict the promotion of religion by state governments. For example, in the Board of Education of Kiryas Joel Village School District v. Grumet, 512 U.S. 687 (1994), Justice David Souter, writing for the majority, concluded that "government should not prefer one religion to another, or religion to irreligion"."]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
