Right to Petition
The Right to Petition is the right to make a complaint to, or look for the assistance of, one's government, without fear of punishment. Historically the right to petition was put into the constitution by the founding fathers because they knew there needed to be a relationship between the government and the governed regarding their complaints that they thought the government needed to be aware of. Currently the supreme court has upheld the right to petition. An example of this is United States vs. Grace where the supreme court said handing out leaflets and carrying picket signs on public sidewalks was protected by the first amendment. I agree with the Right to Petition because I feel that all people should be able to voice their opinion as a group and demonstrate their cause for others to see.
