Background

The case rested on an act which most Americans would find offensive: the burning of the American Flag. Gregory Lee Johnson was arrested and tried in the Texas courts. He was found guilt of destroying a venerated object.

He took his case to the supreme court and argued that his was a form of symbolic free speech. In a 5-4 decision the court agreed with him and they overturned the Texas ruling.

They argued that the act was repulsive, but that alone did not constitute blocking his right to disagree with what the governments were doing. The descending 4 argued that Texas had every right to classify the flag as a venerated object.

The case helped insure that the 1st amendment was protected.  The court ruled that individual free speech must be protected.

Explanation:

The Interest Settlement Option is usually for people who don't need much money or the remedies which the Insurance Cover provides.

Sometimes they defer payment of the proceeds and collect interest on the same whilst they decide on what do do with the money.

When a beneficiary collects this sort of interest it is usually taxable.

Cheers!

Why might some people prefer to an assisted su*c*de over palliative care in a hospice?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

I feel like some people would choose this as an option because of some sort of health condition that brings them pain, or something there is not cure for. Or, the obvious reason of not being happy. It would also mean they would be going peacefully when they want to. Not waiting for it to happen.
