Texas v. Johnson was a 1989 ruling of the United States Supreme Court, that stated that the laws condemning the profanation of the national flag, then in force in forty-eight states, were inconsistent with the First Amendment and the Federal Constitution which prohibited Congress from restricting freedom of speech.

The protection provided by the First Amendment, in the opinion of the Court, does not end only on the spoken and written words. The Court therefore rejected the argument that ignition of a flag can not be characterized as speech (since the First Amendment protects only speech). What is important to characterize a process as a speech is the intention to transfer a certain message through it, so, in the case, the burning of the flag was admitted as a speech and, therefore, protected by the First Amendment.

In a response of at least three paragraphs, compare and contrast the independence movements of India, Latin America, and the Uni
kenny6666 [7]

Out of the three movements, the independence of India was the one that required the least amount of fighting. India achieved its independence in a peaceful manner through the adoption of the ideas of civil disobedience. However, although the process of independence was initially peaceful and led to a straight-forward retreat of the British, its aftermath was more complicated. In the aftermath of independence, India was fragmented into India and Pakistan, with Bangladesh separating from Pakistan later on.

In the case of Latin America, there were several movements that took place at different times. However, several of this were unified thanks to the figure of Simon Bolivar. The conflicts that took place were a lot more violent than those of India. Moreover, fragmentation was also more significant, as these resulted in the creation of several new countries.

Finally, the independence of the United States took place much earlier than these other independence movements. The independence of the Thirteen Colonies was one of the earliest movements for independence to take place. However, it did not lead to the creation of a country. Instead, it led to the creation of a union or a confederacy of several separate colonies, united through some common ties and documents, such as the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation.
