* ''Bell v. Hill'', 74 S.W.2d 113, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/074_S.W.2d_113.pdf#page=9 121] (Tex. 1934) ("It is idle to say that all political power is inherent in the people, and that all free governments are founded on their authority and instituted for their benefit, and that they have the right . . . . If the citizens have a right in a peaceable manner to assemble for their common good, as is declared in section 27 of the Bill of Rights, then it necessarily follows that the legislative act, which provides that only those citizens who meet the approval of some committee authorized or created by the Legislature may assemble, is an attempted legislative limitation on the broad language of the Bill of Rights, and as such is unconstitutional and void.") | * ''Bell v.

The right was not given to shield attacks upon private reputations or assaults upon private characters. . . . The Constitution seeks to secure liberty and not licentiousness.") | ||
