A group of workers is tired of having to work 10-hour days. They gather together on their time off outside of their work place and protest. Their employer calls the police. The people are arrested. Are the actions of the group of workers protected by the U.S. Constitution?

No; protest against private businesses is illegal according to the Constitution.
Yes; they were speaking their minds peacefully in a public place.

Answer:

Yes; they were speaking their minds peacefully in a public place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first amendment in the US Constitution gives citizens the right to peacefully assemble/protest.

The workers had the right to protest against the employers, as they did it respectfully. So, they should not have been arrested because they had the right to do it.

Their actions were protected by the US Constitution.
