Constitutional Connection: First Amendment,"...or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Explanation to Constitution: In this article it explains that the Ku Klux Klan have the right to assemble, as long as it is peacefully of course. But when you think of the KKK you mostly think of the lynchings and threats that they make to other races and religions. But according to the First Amendment, the Ku Klux Klan have the right to peacefully assemble. In the article it tells of how government officials may not make or enforce restrictions on parades or protests in order to censor a viewpoint of a group. I think this is an advantage to some extent, because everyone should have the right to express their opinion, even if it means protesting. And as long as it has a peaceful outcome, where no one ends up hurt. But this can also be a disadvantage, especially when it comes to the KKK, this group that was formed around the idea of racism, anti-semitism, and hatred should not be able to parade the streets and express their opinion of how they are the only superior race. Most likely anything involving the Ku Klux Klan will not have a positive outcome.
