1st, do you know what the first amendment is?

anonymous · Answer

yes, of course, its freedom of speech, press, and religion

anonymous · Answer

Well, if it is in the interest of the common good, it means it effects a good amount of people, right?

anonymous · Answer

right

anonymous · Answer

So then what would you say is the answer?

anonymous · Answer

b? bt i didnt think it made sense because of the groups of three part...

anonymous · Answer

Well, the 1st amendment actually means: 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.

anonymous · Answer

so, now does B make sense

anonymous · Answer

Im not sure because the amendment says "right of the people peaceably to assemble" so that means they have the right to go to the parks peacefully. 
Sorry if im a bit confused...

anonymous · Answer

well, it says group, and it's a park, i would think that it reasonably limits people's rights

anonymous · Answer

okay. but why groups of three, that just makes me question is. what about the other ones anyway?

anonymous · Answer

The amount of people doesn't matter, you may be over thinking this a bit, not to be rude or anything

anonymous · Answer

i understand, so b because i has reasonable limit that is placed on the park?

anonymous · Answer

a reasonable limit of people in groups of three or more - a group is protected under rights of assembly

anonymous · Answer
