A flag protection amendment is not needed. First, of all the Supreme Court found that using the flag as part of a protest was freedom of speech and in 1943 a bill was passed that stated a person didn’t have to salute, stand, or pledge allegiance to the flag if it went against their political beliefs. THIS IS HOW FREEDOM OF SPEECH WORKS. The recent discussions about the flag and “honoring “ it is a phony argument. We either have free speech or not. If we don’t then the First Amendment has been thrown out. Frankly, I don’t want see the extreme action of loosing freedom of speech or press. Once that is gone so is our democracy.
Yes, burning the flag is considered protected speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court has ruled that flag burning is a form of expressive conduct, and prohibiting it would violate the principle of free speech. This protection emphasizes the importance of allowing individuals to express dissenting views, even through controversial acts like flag burning.
The original U.S. Constitution, before the 13th Amendment, included provisions like the Fugitive Slave Clause, which required the return of runaway slaves to their owners. This clause was later nullified by the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery.
A constitutional amendment is any change in the US Constitution. Like the constitution, an amendment must be proposed and then adopted by Congress or by state conventions. It must then be ratified by 2/3 of the current states before it becomes part of the Constitution. Amendments can only be superceded by another later amendment, or repealed by one.
the situation without amendment in the constitution become worst
An example of an informal amendment to the U.S. Constitution would be a change in societal norms or judicial interpretation that affects how the Constitution is applied, such as landmark Supreme Court decisions. In contrast, a formal amendment, like the addition of the Bill of Rights or any other change to the text of the Constitution, is not considered informal. Therefore, a formal amendment process, outlined in Article V of the Constitution, is not an example of an informal amendment.
The right to display the Confederate flag is primarily associated with the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, which protects the freedom of speech and expression. This includes the right to express controversial or unpopular views, such as displaying symbols like the Confederate flag. However, this right can be subject to limitations, particularly in public spaces or contexts where it may incite violence or hate. Ultimately, the interpretation of this right can vary based on legal and social contexts.
Amendment = We feel like changing the law but can't alter the prexisting constitution. Thus we just add to it.
I am not sure what you mean by "follow the flag" . The first flag was designed by Francis Hopkins for the Navy in 1775. The flag wasn't used very much during the revolution, in fact, very few knew what it looked like. Our reverence today is modern idea. The constitution doesn't mention the flag.
boobs and beer, boobs and beer i like suck on them both-; )
Through the amendment process just like we do now.
The statements in the constitution are valid in todays government, but some of them have and can be changed. But we have a process for this in our government so that we can't change the constitution at will and without reason.
