Question

In its argument to make flag burning a criminal offense, Texas claimed that burning a flag would lead to more violence and protest. How does the Court respond to that argument?

Answer 1

The argument is whether burning the flag is a capital crime or not. Texas lawmakers believe that it is against the law to burn the flag. However, with the first amendment right, the law is contradicted. The Bill of Rights is the overall document that lawmakers go by. therefore burning the flag is a free right in the United States.
