Is there a Constitutional right to burning the American Flag? Does the First Amendment give permission to destroy a pronounced symbol into ash? In the Texas vs. Johnson case, 1984, Gregory Lee Johnson burned an American flag in a protest at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas . While Texas argued it as a criminal offense, the Supreme Court argued, along with the First Amendment, that even though the proper treatment of the flag is encouraged, the action could be portrayed as a freedom of speech. So, does a state have a right to uphold it’s own laws, even if they don’t align with the federal law?…
When the privacy of students comes into question there are mixed responses, especially when it comes to the contents of a student’s bag. From the landmark supreme court case TLO v. New Jersey, the privacy students have in school has inevitably come into question. Whether TLO or New Jersey was right, this court case changed the way we look at students and their privacy.

The United States v. Lopez case, presided over by Chief Justice William Rehnquist, dealt with the abilities of Congress to regulate and inhibit activities that may present a potential obstacle to the economic growth of an area. The initial problem emanated from a Texas high school student’s decision to bring a concealed firearm into his school.

The defendant appealed and after judicial review the law was found to be unconstitutional because the action committed was a criminal one that had no effect upon economic development or commerce. In this example, the Legislative Branch did overstep its boundaries because interstate restrictions on certain…
The Supreme Court case Texas v. Johnson was fought between the state of Texas and Gregory Lee Johnson over a right that Johnson claimed to be protected by the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Texas argued that burning the American flag was not an act protected by the 1st Amendment because it causes great dissent and conflict. Johnson argued that its controversial nature is exactly why it is protected by the 1st Amendment; the 1st Amendment was added to the Constitution specifically to protect one’s unpopular opinion. This court case interested me because I found that I had a hard time deciding whether the state of Texas or Johnson was right; the case intrigued me because it made me think. Five years prior to the case, Johnson participated…

William S. LaPierre from “Crime is the Basic Problem, Not Guns” claims that, “America has a crime problem, not a gun problem.” Anti-gun activists believe that by taking guns away the crime rate will drop.

People would be left defenseless against criminals.…
