Freedoms of Expression and Assembly

Freedom of expression and assembly are fundamental rights that allow individuals to share their ideas, opinions, and beliefs openly, and to gather with others for discussion, protest, or celebration. These rights promote open debate and ensure diverse voices can be heard without fear of censorship or punishment. However, they are balanced by laws that prevent harm, such as restrictions on hate speech or violent protests. Overall, these freedoms support a healthy, functioning democracy by enabling individuals to participate actively in public life and influence societal change.
