AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.2
If the Supreme Court had ruled that burning the American flag is not symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment, how might protest activities have evolved differently?
Flag burning incidents during protests could increase in frequency.
Burning flags of other countries would become a common form of protest.
It would lead to a decrease in overall public protesting activities across country.
Protests may have been less dramatic as protestors avoid acts perceived as flag desecration.
