George Washington's letter was addressed to John Hancock, who was then the President of the Second Continental Congress. (Yes, the John Hancock who is famous for the size of his signature on the Declaration of Independence.) Washington's letter advocated the importance of a regular army of trained troops, rather than dependence on militias of men called out of their regular, daily life into short-term military service.
In the letter, dated September <u>25</u>, 1776, Washington wrote (with spellings as he used): "To place any dependance upon Militia, is, assuredly, resting upon a broken staff.

Explanation:
After Gregory Lee Johnson, William Kunstler´s client, was tried and convicted for having burned an American flag to protest against Reagan´s government, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the conviction and the case was sent to the Supreme Court. The Texas v. Johnson court case brought up the question of whether or not the desecration of an American flag is a form of speech protected under the First Amendment. The court ruled that Johnson burning the flag was a form of expression with a distinctively political nature and was protected by the First Amendment.
