Practice question
A public officer without legal ground prevents a citizen from joining a lawful association and from submitting an individual petition to authorities for redress. The officer says Article131 covers only mass meetings already in progress. What is the flaw?
- Only a large crowd has protected rights
- The article separately protects association participation and petitions, including an individual petition
- Every petition needs an existing meeting
- A lawful association is outside the article
- An individual may never seek redress
Legal references
- Revised Penal Code, Articles118,120-121,126,128,130-132,143-144, as applicable; no obsolete fine applied: https://lawphil.net/statutes/acts/act1930/act_3815_1930.html
