What constitutes freedom to exercise the right to gather peacefully and assemble together silently like the Quakers did when young Benjamin Franklin did in his autobiography that recorded his fist stop after an inauspicious trip to Philadelphia when he found the warmth of a Quaker's meeting house, an ideal place to fall asleep, to dry off and to recoup his energy.
The answer is simple---The Bill of Rights, and it is an historical symbol of our humanity's democracy--an 18th-century zeitgeist, a legacy of die Aufklaerung, the enlightenment, the age of reason after Thomas Carlyle's description of Robes Pierre, as described in Charles Dicken's "A Tale of two Cities" in reference to anarchy, blood-lust, and lawlessness versus Sidney's sacrifice to humanity, compassion, and empathy to save a rival's life caught in the strings of love, death, and tragedy of monarchy and rebellion unleased in an twisted world of power lust.
