The Bill of Rights explicitly protects all rights NOT specified in it.
(Read it.) The right to organize to advance one's POV, agenda, etc,
is a right essential to any democracy.

Have read it many, many times.

Then you obviously haven't been paying attention.

The BOR explicitly states that non-enumerated rights -- states' and
individual -- are not disparaged. The BOR protects rights -- it does not
enumerate or proscribe them.

The right to form associations -- political or otherwise -- is a right that
is inherent in democracy, and essential to it.

And please learn to spell coercive.
