- pdonis 6y agoThat Wikipedia article actually references a Supreme Court decision that says the 1st Amendment does protect freedom of association because it is an essential part of freedom of speech. I haven't read the opinion in that case, though, so I don't know what "freedom of association" actually meant in the context of that case. I personally would say the 9th and 10th Amendments are more to the point, since they talk about rights not specifically mentioned.
