<em>John Fitzgerald Kennedy</em> was an American politician who served as the 35th President of the United States between 1961 until his assassination in 1963.

On October 22nd, 1962, President Kennedy imposed a <em>US naval blockade of Cuba</em> as a result of US  spy planes founding Soviet missiles in the Caribbean Island. President Kennedy gave a speech on National Television telling the citizens about the findings, and how those Russian missiles had the power to cause major destruction to several cities of the United States, including its capital Washington D.C. This naval blockade exposed the already existing tensions between the US and the Soviet Union, and for many days there was the fear of a nuclear war between the two powers.

What argument could you make that flag burning is likely to cause violence and therefore should be against the law ?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

<h2>Flag burning is an act of violence</h2>

Explanation:

--------------------------------------------

<em>Flag burning is likely to cause violence because it is an act of violence. Let me tell you in a way where you will understand, I do not know if you are talking about the American flag or every flag ever made, but, if you burned the American flag, people might take it as a threat, or just ignore it. Apparently, burning the American flag is legal, this is because in the year 1989, the Supreme Court declared that they couldn't stop people from burning these flags. They also declared that the federal / state laws that protect the flag are in violation of free-speech protections. I think it should be illegal because if people keep doing it, they will just keep doing it! They won't stop and will never stop. It also means that they are disrespecting our country, which I respect, but I do not respect the way that the people act when they burned it. I watched this video and people were cursing, acting like they own the world, and hurting other people with the fire on the flag. I wish the Supreme Court would stand up to this, I understand that the people will always protest, and that it's very hard to get the people to listen, but please, if you can try to, bring this back up and try again.</em>

--------------------------------------------

I got some of these answers from TIME, you can check it out if you want to, and I wrote most of this myself. I also wrote the "Flag burning is an act of violence" so I wouldn't take anyone elses idea.

--------------------------------------------

<em>Hope this helps! <3</em>

According to Article II of the Constitution, one of the president’s duties is to serve as commander in chief. create laws and in
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The correct answer is Serve as commander in chief.

The ability to create federal laws is a power given to the US Congress. The ability to interpret laws is a power given to the Supreme Court. This shows why the second answer is incorrect.

Even though the president nominates candidates for the Supreme Court, the actual managing and development of the courts is handled by the judicial branch, showing why statement three is incorrect.

The President is part of the executive branch, so he/she is not part of the House or Senate. This is because the House and Senate are technically part of the legislative branch (which is completely different). This shows why answer four is incorrect.
