the store in question, that store was not subject to Stranahan’s right to solicit signatures under Article IV, section 1. Id. at 497 (Landau, J., dissenting). Fred Meyer petitioned for review, contending, inter alia, that Article IV, section 1, does not create a right to solicit signatures for initiative petitions on private property and, consequently, that Whiffen II was decided incorrectly and should be overruled. We allowed review to consider that issue. We first note that, before this court’s decision in Whiffen II, there had been a long history of federal constitutional litigation pitting the rights of persons engaging in political activity, such as petitioning, against the rights of private property owners. See Marsh v. Alabama, 326 US 501, 505-09, 66 S Ct 276, 90 L Ed 265 (1946) (<HOLDING>); Food Employees v. Logan Plaza, Inc., 391 US
