Should Burning the Flag be a Crime ?
(4 Pages, 43.8 USD)
|
|
A 4 page essay in which the writer argues that although thematically disrespectful, a 'flag burning amendment' is merely an example of national insecurity, not patriotism. It is asserted that more important rights precede such an amendment and that there is no viable reason to punish people for burning the American flag as an act of free expression. The flag is a symbol of freedom but it, in itself, is not freedom. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Why Not Burn the Flag ?
(8 Pages, 87.6 USD)
|
|
An 8 page argumentative report against allowing the burning of the American flag. In 1989, the Supreme Court overturned both the conviction of Gregory (Joey) Johnson and the laws under which he was convicted for burning a flag in Dallas during the 1984 Republican National Convention. The Supreme Court cited the Constitution's protection of free speech under the First Amendment, but astute authors (and citizens) noted that there was usually little, if any, speech involved in burning a flag. The position taken in the paper is that other avenues, including speech, are available for those unhappy with the state of the country. Bibliography lists numerous sources.
