The Texas v. Johnson case did not violate the Constitution; rather, it addressed whether flag burning is protected under the First Amendment's free speech clause. In 1989, the Supreme Court ruled that burning the American flag as a form of political protest is a form of expressive conduct, thus protected speech. The decision emphasized that the government cannot prohibit speech simply because it is offensive or disagrees with public sentiment. Therefore, the ruling upheld constitutional rights rather than violating them.
