Which statement best describes the Supreme Court's decision in Texas v. Johnson? It prevented acts of symbolic protest against t

Alex73 [517]

The correct answer is it protected actions such as flag burning and not just spoken or written words.

This famous Supreme Court case took place in 1989. Before this time, flag burning was outlawed in 48 of the 50 US states. However, this case changed all of that.

Gregory Johnson was a citizen who burnt the US flag out of protest after the Republican National Convention in 1984. He argued that this was an example of freedom of speech. After working its way up to the Supreme Court, the Court sided with Johnson. This invalidated the laws against flag burning and protected symbolic freedom of speech.
