“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.”

That is what was written a couple of centuries ago. Now, we live in a country where bribing politicians is Constitutionally protected free speech, but peaceably assembling to petition the government for a redress of grievances will get you swarmed with riot police.

Have a nice day.
