The first ten amendemnts were all adopted at the same time. When the U.S. Constitution is amended, the new clauses are appended to what was there originally, rather than making internal changes to the original text. Thus, the original body of the constitution developed by the Constitutional convention of 1787 was what was there before the Bill of Rights and it is still there although assorted amendemnt have caused certain clauses in it to become null and void.

Isn't freedom of assembly one of the freedoms in the First Amendment?

The freedom of peaceful assembly is indeed a right set down in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Below you will find a link. Click on it and surf over to the Wikipedia post on the First Amendment to the Constitution. The first paragraph of the article will tell you what other First Amendment rights you have. The rest of the article is good read, too. This is important stuff. People have bled and died for it. Why not take a moment to look it over? Uneducated, uninformed and uninterested people are easy to lead - and control.
