Definition(s)

  • The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to both freedom of association and freedom of expression. The view that people should be free to organize themselves so as to pursue their shared interests to maximum effect has been one of the enduring—even defining—features of the American political landscape.
