	John E. Wolfgram: How the Judiciary Stole the Right to Petition
		After all, a petition for redress is a complaint that government violated rights and a demand that it stop, and to compensate the complainant for damages.
		It wasn't until 1882 that the "Right of Petition" was discussed at all in the sovereign immunity context.
		The right embraces dissent, and 'would seem unnecessary to be expressly provided for in a republican government, since it results from the very nature and structure of its institutions.

	Right of Petition -- Time to Sign
		The right to Petition is the foundation of Popular Sovereignty and is the direct vehicle for the peaceful, non-violent resolution of matters concerning violations of right, law and limited governance.
		In 1791, the right to petition became the primary right of the People of the United States of America, expressed in the First Amendment to the federal Constitution.
		The right to Petition for Redress of Grievances is the final protection -- the final, peaceful check and balance in our system of Constitutional government in which the government derives its limited powers from the consent of the sovereign people.

	The Right to Ride Petition

	FindLaw Constitutional Law Center: U.S. Constitution: First Amendment: Annotations pg. 21 of 21
		The right of petition recognized by the First Amendment first came into prominence in the early 1830's, when petitions against slavery in the District of Columbia began flowing into Congress in a constantly increasing stream, which reached its climax in the winter of 1835.
		''The right of the people peaceably to assemble for the purpose of petitioning Congress for a redress of grievances, or for anything else connected with the powers or the duties of the National Government, is an attribute of national citizenship, and, as such, under the protection of, and guaranteed by, the United States.
		Later cases tend to merge the rights of assembly and petition into the speech and press clauses, and, indeed, all four rights may well be considered as elements of an inclusive right to freedom of expression.

		211 The right extends to the ''approach of citizens or groups of them to administrative agencies (which are both creatures of the legislature, and arms of the executive) and to courts, the third branch of Government.
		The right of ac cess to the courts is indeed but one aspect of the right of petition.'' 212
		Certain conduct may call forth a denomination of petition 224 or assembly, 225 but there seems little question that no substantive issue turns upon whether one may be said to be engaged in speech or assembly or petition.
