Answer

Brief Explanations:

In Edwards v. South Carolina (1963), the Supreme Court ruled that peaceful civil rights protesters had the right to petition the government (as per the First Amendment) and also the right to peacefully assemble. The case centered around a group of African - American students who were convicted after a peaceful protest. The Court held that their conviction violated their First Amendment rights of petition and assembly. Symbolic speech (like burning a draft card), freedom of the press (related to media), and freedom of religion (related to worship) were not the issues in this case.

Answer:

the right to peacefully assemble.
