v
Johnson
O™
IIEB
O
1.)
Describe
the
facts
of
the
case
in
one
sentence
Flag
burning
constitutes
symbolic
speech
that
is
protected
by
the
First
Amendment.
2.
Describe
the
majority
opinion
(the
winning
side)
The
majority
of
the
Court
agreed
with
Johnson
and
held
that
flag
burning
constitutes
a
form
of
"symbolic
speech"
that
is
protected
by
the
First
Amendment.
The Court
found
that
Johnson's
actions
fell
into
the
category
of
expressive
conduct
and had
a
distinctively
political
nature.
3.
Describe
the
minority
opinion
(the
losing
side).
The
minority
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.
4.
Why
do
you
think
the
case
concluded
as
it
did?
In
my
opinion
|
believe
that
nobody
can
suppose
that
this
one
gesture
of
an
unknown
man
will.
It’s
better
to
change
our
Nation's
attitude
towards
the
flag.
|
also
think
that
the
Supreme
Court
choose
this
decision
because
they
agreed
that
symbolic
speech—no
matter
how
offensive
it
was—is
protected
under
the
First
Amendment.
5.
Why
do
you
believe
this
case
is
a
landmark
Supreme
Court
case?
A
landmark
S.C.
case
is
a
case
of
great
importance.
