Why is the designation of conspiracy as a crime sometimes criticized as a threat to First amendment freedom ???????

History
1 answer:
Sidana [21]3 years ago
6 0

The First Amendment states that: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

So, some scholars and lawyers believe that the crime of conspiracy infringes on "the right of the people peaceably to assemble."

Conspiracy is, essentially, the crime of association and can be used to keep unpopular groups from association with each other. Conspiracy has been used time and again in history to shut down both good AND bad groups but it does limit ones ability to peaceably assemble.

Compare the advantages and disadvantages of stateless societies and those with monarchies or other forms of hereditary rule
postnew [5]
  • In stateless societies there is little concentration of authority, most positions of authority that exist are very limited in their power and such positions are usually not permanently occupied, and social agencies resolve disputes through Predefined rules tend to be small. Stateless societies are very variable in economic organization, and cultural practices. Most of the history of mankind people have lived in stateless societies. However, few Stateless societies exist at present, since most of them have been obliged to integrate with the state-level companies that surround them.
  • The Monarchy is a form of State (although it is often defined as a form of Government) in which a group integrated into the State, usually a family that represents a dynasty, embodies the national identity of the country and its head, the monarch, He exercises the role of head of state. The political power of the monarch can vary from the purely symbolic (parliamentary monarchy), to integrate in the form of government: with considerable but restricted executive powers (constitutional monarchy), even the completely autocratic (absolute monarchy).
