In the case,Texas v.Johnson,the texas court tried and convicted Mr.Johnson for violating the statute that prohibited the desecration of venerated objects e.g the American flag that could arouse anger in other individuals.Johnson appealed with the argument that the actions were a "symbolic speech" protected by the First Amendment.

Texas laws punishes actions such as flag burning that might arouse anger in other but it this case the outrage alone couldnot justify for supressing Johnson's freedom of speech.In this perspective,the Texas law discriminated upon view point in that though it punishes such actions,it still specifically exempt prosecution of actions with similar defination such as burning or burying of worn-out flag.

Therefore, flag burning in Texas v.Johnson constituted a symbolic speech and is protected by the Firts Amendment.

In 1786 Captain Daniel Shay led a series of attacks on courthouses to block foreclosures on farms.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Shay’s rebellion was led by soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary war and later became farmers. They received very little compensation after the war and suffered several hardships.

When businesses in Boston demanded immediate cash payment the farmers who usually bought on credit had to suffer. Circulation of paper currency was also limited.  

The farmers didn’t have gold or silver to settle their debts. Above all that the rate of tax in Massachusetts was very high. All these factors made farmers suffer hardships.

When peaceful measures to get their problems solved by authorities failed, the people took to rebellion. Shay’s rebellion emerged at that period.
