5 0

The answer is: the consent of the governed.

This doctrine refers to the notion that Democracies only exist because the citizen members of the Democracies have consensually banded together and given consent for the Government to act for them. It is a doctrine that was developed during the Enlightenment and was very influential during the American revolution.

Who is Johnson and why did he say his first amendment rights have been violated ?
Degger [83]
Facts

Gregory Lee Johnson burned an American flag outside of the convention center where the 1984 Republican National Convention was being held in Dallas, Texas. Johnson burned the flag to protest the policies of President Ronald Reagan. He was arrested and charged with violating a Texas statute that prevented the desecration of a venerated object, including the American flag, if such action were likely to incite anger in others. A Texas court tried and convicted Johnson. He appealed, arguing that his actions were "symbolic speech" protected by the First Amendment. The Supreme Court agreed to hear his case.

Issue

Whether flag burning constitutes "symbolic speech" protected by the First Amendment.

Ruling

Yes.

Reasoning
(5-4)

The majority of the Court, according to Justice William Brennan, agreed with Johnson and held that flag burning constitutes a form of "symbolic speech" that is protected by the First Amendment. The majority noted that freedom of speech protects actions that society may find very offensive, but society's outrage alone is not justification for suppressing free speech.

In particular, the majority noted that the Texas law discriminated upon viewpoint, i.e., although the law punished actions, such as flag burning, that might arouse anger in others, it specifically exempted from prosecution actions that were respectful of venerated objects, e.g., burning and burying a worn-out flag. The majority said that the government could not discriminate in this manner based solely upon viewpoint.

Dissent

Justice Stevens
Writing for the dissent, Justice Stevens argued that the flag's unique status as a symbol of national unity outweighed "symbolic speech" concerns, and thus, the government could lawfully prohibit flag burning.

Which speaker would most likely support the government established by the Articles of Confederation?
Amanda [17]

The correct answer is "Speaker 2".

The centralization of power was a matter of much debate during the Constitutional Congress of 1777. During the elaboration of the draft that would become the United State's constitution, points like the checks and balances between powers and state representation came into question. A group of the members at the meeting supported a stronger federal government, while others supported a more decentralized one, limiting the power of the federal government by granting more attributions to the states.
