Flag Burning

It is possible to burn a flag that burns a flag, which is usually a very controversial matter. Many people are angry with the idea of ​​destroying the symbol of freedom and freedom of the country. Gregory Lee Johnson was arrested for burning the American flag in a political protest during the Republican convention in 1984. A few years later, in 1989, Johnson was supervised by the US Supreme Court. In the same year, Texas passed the "flag protection law" which forbids any form of defamation of the American flag.

1990: America vs. Eichmann (496 US 310) - Passage of the "Flag Protection Act" caused a case of burning several flags and protested the new law. The Supreme Court overturned several rulings on the burning flag under the "Flag Protection Act" in 1967. Despite the efforts of Congress to adopt a more neutral law, the court found that Federal law still remains primarily aimed at restricting symbolic speech. 1990: refusal to revise the constitution - According to Eichmann 's decision, Congress reviewed and rejected the revision of the constitution. "Congress and state have the right to prohibit the actual defamation of the American flag." It only received a deposit of 254 - 177 in the House of Representatives (requiring 290 votes) and a Senate 58 - 42 deposit (67 votes required), so the amendment will determine the majority of two thirds of Parliament's required I could not do it

A constitutional amendment that prohibits the incineration of national flags and other kinds of national flags should be adopted. Contrary to the opinion of the Supreme Court's ruling and those who oppose such amendment, the burning flag is not in the form of a speech. Revision of the national flag will be supported by citizens, returning the Constitution to its original meaning and spreading patriotism. Today's enemies are much more powerful than anyone you meet on the battlefield. Discussions on the national flag in the House highlight the big gap in the definition of the constitution and patriotism. Our opposition defines the nature of freedom as tolerance to non-patriotic behavior.

Under normal usage, the expression "burning flag" refers only to burning the national flag as a protest. However, according to the regulation of the American Flag Act, "When the flag is no longer suitable for display (for example, when the flag disappears or tears), it should be destroyed in an impressive way, if possible burning It is desirable to have it. " Even if you invert the American flag, it does not necessarily mean a political protest. Displaying the flag in this way comes from "a sign of distress" and is "a terrible signal in the event of extreme danger to life or property" and can be regarded as slander. It has been extended to express statements about suffering in civilians, politics or other areas. At the rally of Saturday night April 13, 1996, music guest Rage Against the Machine announced a statement about the billionaire 's host called Steve Forbes.
