Freedom of assembly (or freedom of association) is the right of people to assemble in peace for any reason, including to demand government action. The pros: The right extends to both public and private spaces, and people can use their right to assembly to spread information, draw awareness to a cause, or to petition their government for a redress of greivances. The cons: Some businesses may not prevent people from assembling on their grounds, and while protests must be peaceful in order to be protected, any type of demonstration can have a negative effect on people who aren't part of the assembly. For instance, picketers might inadvertently create a traffic jam, resulting in lost productivity.
