1924 Supreme Court of New Jersey
The right of the people to meet in public places to discuss in an open and public manner all questions affecting their substantial welfare and to vent their grievances, to protest against oppression, economic or otherwise . . . were rights confirmed and guaranteed them by the Magna Carta, Petition of Right, and the Bill of Rights . . . the bases of both our Federal and State Constitutions.
These constitutional mandates, being in favor of liberty of the people, must be given the most liberal and comprehensive construction . . .
