Immediately after election, Opimius cancelled several of Gracchus’ laws an called into question his actions in Carthage, “omitting nothing that was likely to irritate him.” A rabble-rouser might have used this as ammunition to riot or try and overthrow the government but Gaius “bore these things very patiently,” and only “at the instigation of his friends,” gathered his supporters to oppose the consul’s decisions.

Does the Constitution protect this protest and speech under free speech? Are the grounds of a funeral exempt from this type of behavior and speech? That's exactly what happened in the case of Snyder v. Phelps.
