The first amendment isn't simply broken into atomic bullet pointed freedoms that can individually be negotiated. The amendment specifically says "peaceably assemble", which is tied to speech, press, religious expression, and petitioning government in the text. It is part of a long historic stream of law and judicial decisions in the common law dating back to the Magna Carta. Free speech is not truly free if the government tells you where you can and can't do it. There is a long legal tradition saying as much.
