Flag-Burning is No Crime

Stripes and stars are always right. What do you mean? The American flag can be seen everywhere. From high school to stadium, even our house, the American flag is a symbol of all goodness in America. When people think about flags, they usually think of blood flowing down the country. It is open to allow freedom of freedom of speech and freedom of expression which is within the scope of the first amendment.

Burning a flag is not a vandalism act. Representing dishonorable views by burning a flag is not a crime, but instead it is a form of symbolic speech protected by a first amendment. Should I next express my ideas or opinions that do not meet our social standards, should I exercise your rights to freedom of expression illegally?

The right to freedom of expression still requires constant and careful protection. A new problem occurred and the old problem came back. Should burning a flag be a crime? What about government and personal art reviews, including subtle problems such as religion and sexual activity? Should the Internet be subject to some government control? Punish college students who support racial discrimination and gender discrimination? When answering these questions, the history and basic values ​​of the first modification should be our guide.

In contemporary America, burning the flag is a very pressing problem; especially for the war in which the country is now involved, the "war with terror". Therefore, one question the Americans should ask is whether or not they can accept demos such as burning flags, as many Americans already have. As far as the position of the judiciary is concerned, it is illegal to burn the flag. And ... In 1968, Congress forbade anyone publicly destroyed, swearing, deliberately despising American flags and discoloration. So (Sexton, Brandt 184-5) Therefore the problem is not just a matter of legitimacy but also one of the citizens' duties, and Americans understand the purpose of a specific illegal civil demo Along with the intention to obey the implicit laws and regulations prescribed in the Constitution.
