General speech and assembly rights both enable and are shaped by demonstrations

Evidence

The more general attachment of demonstrations to citizens’ rights and obligations with regard to speech, association, and assembly, in contrast, produces effects in two directions. First, expansions or contractions of rights to speech, association, and assembly inevitably impinge on demonstrations whether or not they begin with demonstrations. But second, by their incorporation of claims to identity, standing, and program, demonstrations challenge authorities to resist or recognize shifts in boundaries between tolerated and forbidden political actors, actions, and claims. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1199

Categorization

• DEFINE: Contrast with 1197: general rights jurisprudence does NOT segregate demonstrations from wider rights, so demonstrations ride expansions/contractions of speech, association, assembly and in turn push those boundaries. This binary — special jurisprudence segregate vs general rights open two-way — is the formal backbone of the reader’s test.
