Abstract

ABSTRACT The right to protest is central to democratic participation. This essay suggests that recent attempts to use the right to assemble as a doctrinal hook to better protect protest are correct but incomplete. Such attempts rightly suggest that the Court’s current approach through free speech inadequately protects protest directed at public officials. But this essay argues that such accounts and the Court’s jurisprudence also inadequately protect citizens’ privacy in public spaces. By looking at current cases, history and theory it proposes an alternative account of assembly that better protects participation and the equality necessary to make participation effective.
重新构想第一修正案:议会条款作为一项实质性权利
抗议权是民主参与的核心。这篇文章表明,最近试图利用集会权作为更好地保护抗议的理论挂钩是正确的,但不完整。这些尝试正确地表明,法院目前通过言论自由采取的做法没有充分保护针对公职人员的抗议。但本文认为,这种说法和法院的判例也没有充分保护公民在公共场所的隐私。通过审视当前的案例、历史和理论,它提出了一种对集会的替代解释,更好地保护参与和使参与有效所必需的平等。
