Gregory Johnson, a youth Communist demonstrator, was part of a demonstration. During it, he set an American flag on fire. He was arrested for violating Texas law stating that vandalism of respected objects were not allowed. His case was taken to the Supreme court where the Johnson's case was defeated 5-4 in a controversial vote. This case was important because it set up a law that disallowed the desecrating (intentionally destroying, damaging, or mutilating an American flag in public). This law is enforced in 48 out of the 50 states.

disa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

In 2003, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed that in determining any risk, regulators should assume children have 10 times the exposure risk of adults to cancer-causing chemicals. Some health scientists contends that these guidelines are too weak. They suggest that, to be on safe side, we should assume that the risk of harm from toxins is 100 times that of adults. Others support doing this on ethical grounds, they say it is wrong not to give children much greater protection from harmful chemicals in the environment.
