freedom of assembly
The fundamental right of citizens to assemble peacefully and without weapons, without prior permission, in order to express opinions together or pursue common goals.
Die Versammlungsfreiheit ist ein wichtiger Pfeiler einer funktionierenden Demokratie.
Freedom of assembly is an important pillar of a functioning democracy.
This word is made up of three parts: 'die Versammlung' (the assembly), the linking -s, and 'die Freiheit' (freedom). It therefore literally means the freedom to assemble.
Das Recht auf Versammlungsfreiheit ist für eine lebendige Zivilgesellschaft unerlässlich.
The right to freedom of assembly is essential for a vibrant civil society.
As a legal and political term, 'Versammlungsfreiheit' (freedom of assembly) is often used with certain verbs. It can be 'garantieren' (guaranteed), 'schützen' (protected), 'einschränken' (restricted), or one can 'Gebrauch machen' (make use) of it.
Ein demokratischer Staat muss die Versammlungsfreiheit seiner Bürger garantieren.
A democratic state must guarantee its citizens' freedom of assembly.
Freedom of assembly is a very important fundamental right in Germany. It is enshrined in Article 8 of the Basic Law, the German constitution.
Die Demonstration wurde unter Berufung auf die im Grundgesetz verankerte Versammlungsfreiheit genehmigt.
The demonstration was approved with reference to the freedom of assembly enshrined in the Basic Law.
freedom of expression
'die Meinungsfreiheit' and 'die Versammlungsfreiheit' are both important fundamental rights. 'Meinungsfreiheit' means that you may freely say, write, or show your opinion. 'Versammlungsfreiheit' means that people may meet peacefully and without weapons, for example for a demonstration. The words can be confused because opinions are often expressed at an assembly too. The difference is: 'Meinungsfreiheit' protects the expression of an opinion, while 'Versammlungsfreiheit' protects coming together as a group.
Wegen der Versammlungsfreiheit dürfen die Bürger friedlich auf dem Platz demonstrieren.
Because of freedom of assembly, citizens are allowed to demonstrate peacefully in the square.
In einer Demokratie schützt die Meinungsfreiheit auch unbequeme Aussagen.
In a democracy, freedom of expression also protects uncomfortable statements.
