Answer 2

Speech is not protected when it directly leads to criminal acts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Freedom of expression in the United States is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and by the constitutions and laws of many states. There are, however, many exceptions including obscenity, defamation, incitement to commit crimes, harassment, secret communications, trade secrets, classified documents, copyright and patents.

Government criticism is therefore allowed if it does not contravene the exceptions. Desecration of the flag of the United States is protected by the First Amendment, although this remains controversial.
