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.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The answer is the items at the end of the list.

Explanation:

The student in the example is more likely to remember the items at the end of the list, due to a phenomenon called the recency effect: we will remember best the most recent information. At the same time, this is related to the serial-position effect, which states that the order of the items in a list influences the way we remember them. More specifically, <u>we remember items at the end and the beginning more easily</u>.
