Freedom of Association
Freedom of Association in Constitutional Law
From the Comparative Constitutions Project: Freedom of association is the right to meet and interact freely, without the interference of the state or others. This is slightly different than freedom of assembly, because assembly refers to the ability to meet in public places, where association refers to the ability of individuals to meet in, form, and join organizations.
