Constitutional Connection: First amendment, Bill of Rights, freedom of assembly.
Explanation of Connection: This article talks about how the people of Georgia rebels against its government because they don't believe that Mr. Saakashvili is capable of maintaining his title. They believe that his is foolish, despotic, and unfit for his title. So they people began to protest. They threw carrots and cabbages at his house the article said they accused Mr. Saakashvili of being "as cowardly as a rabbit." The public stated that they were not going to create an anarchy but if he failed to listen to them as he had promised that they would protest more and more.
I don't think that this protest should have been allowed because they were not peaceful. The acted with violence. They should not have been allowed to assemble because of how rebellious they were.
