Article 14 of the Constitution of the Republic of China provides that people have the freedom of assembly and association. It is also the fundamental human right. Although the Assembly and Parade Act was promulgated in 1988 and has been amended twice, its constitutionality has been challenged continuously. After the Council of Grand Justices made the interpretation of Shih-Zih No. 445, the legal system of assembly and parade still has not been changed and exercising assembly right still represent the practice of democracy and national sovereignty, which mainly protects the right of disadvantaged groups to express opinion and political ideas. In the multicultural and democratic society, if exercising the right positively can be highly valued, it will enhance the social harmony significantly. The respect towards exercising the freedom of assembly and the well addressing of it have become an important index to inspect a legal and democratic state.
