The First Amendment restricts the power of government to restrain political speech and association, while the Fourth Amendment curtails the power of government to surveil or scrutinize political activists by protecting people against unreasonable searches and seizures or other invasions of political privacy by government. Finally, the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which stipulates that no state may "deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law," assures that state and local government agencies or officials are likewise bound to respect the rights of citizens and honor the restrictions on government contained in the First and Fourth Amendments.

Government monitoring, investigating, and surveilling of politically active groups can have almost as restrictive an impact on advocacy by such groups as direct government prohibition of such advocacy.
