"The First Amendment to the Constitution forbids Congress from passing any law abridging the right of the people peaceably to assemble or to petition government for a redress of grievances. The Supreme Court has applied this limitation to state governments through the Fourteenth Amendment."

Learning about this tree's existance and what it witnessed ignited my patriotism and my humble appreciation of what this country has given me.

The Sons of Liberty pronounced the Liberty Tree's being and role. While nurturing the deep emotions of individual liberties, they provided the insight that led to the birth of America. Thier daring approach and views allowed a window of option and new perspective, providing others an allowance to grasp freedom's definition.

This tree signified a place of opportunity. A gathering place to express the passions of potential pride and well being. Beneath it's branches, above it's roots they stood for a cause. Liberty.
