By civilian law, no. Military law says you are required to when in uniform.Police and fire agencies also have the legal authority to require they're members to salute when in uniform as well. It is however, part of proper flag etiquette to place your hand upon your chest and remove head garments when the national anthem is sung, not doing so is generally looked upon as poor conduct by other citizens, some citizens even feel it is treason, though there is no court cases to back up that claim.
YES!!! And stand to attention. It is a mark of respect to the country you are in , be it your own country, or a country you are visiting.
The "Star-Spangled Banner," written by Francis Scott Key in 1814, was designated as the national anthem of the United States on March 3, 1931, when President Herbert Hoover signed a bill into law. The song had previously gained popularity during the 19th century, but it was this legislation that officially recognized it as the national anthem.
This is true.In 1995, a law was passed in Columbia stating that the national anthem must be played on TV and radio stations at precisely six in the morning and six in the evening, local time.Their national anthem is called ¡Oh gloria inmarcesible! (O Unfading Glory).
Kind of... In Boston, Stravinsky conducted a performance of his arrangement of the American National Anthem, which he dedicated to the American people and allowed to be used freely. Stravinsky's unconventional stylistic tendencies resulted in an arrangement which didn't sit well with the state of Massachusetts, whose government had a law against the tampering of national property. They considered the anthem national property, and his reharmonization "tampering." Essentially, he was initially arrested for desecration of a national hymn. They seized his score and took him away. Luckily, he was released after he convinced authorities of his good intentions.
1931

The Alaskan State Song is "Alaska's Flag". As a State within the United States, the National Anthem of Alaska is the National Anthem of the United States of America: The Star Spangled Banner based on an 1814 poem called "Defence of Fort McHenry" by Francis Scott Key.

First and foremost the Philippine National Anthem is protected by law, therefore, cannot be reworded or rearranged. It is a symbol of the country's traditions, ideals, history and culture. Martin Nievera's personal rendition of Lupang Hinirang in the Pacquio-Hatton fight is an example of the little importance given to the integrity of one of the nation's symbols. Why change it when it wasn't broken to begin with? People claim it is outdated. Ignorance fuels that claim. The National Anthem, mandated by the people, is in itself defined never to be outdated. No one man can choose to change our National Anthem. It will have to be the choice of a nation, not one mere balladeer who's nationalism is ascued.
Most nations have anthems, defined as "a song, as of praise, devotion, or patriotism";[1] most anthems are either marches or hymns in style. A hymn can become a national anthem by a provision in the state's constitution, by a law enacted by its legislature, or simply by tradition.[2] A royal anthem is a patriotic song similar to a national anthem, but it specifically praises or prays for a monarch or royal dynasty. Such anthems are usually performed at public appearances by the monarch or during other events of royal importance. Some states use the royal anthem as the national anthem, such as the anthem of Jordan.[3]There are multiple claimants to the position of oldest national anthem.[4] Among the national anthems, the first to be composed was the Dutch national anthem the Wilhelmus, which was written between 1568 and 1572.[5] The Japanese anthem, Kimigayo, employs the oldest lyrics of any national anthem, taking its words from the Kokin Wakashū(First published in 905), yet it was not set to music until 1880.[6] The first anthem to be officially adopted as such was the Spanish anthem Marcha Real, in 1770; its origins remain unclear, being suggested to have sixteenth century Venetian origins, or even to have been composed by king Frederick the Great himself; it is also one of the few national anthems that has never had official lyrics.[7] Anthems became increasingly popular among European states in the 18th century.[8] For example, the British national anthem God Save the Queen was first performed under the title God Save the King in 1745.[9] The French anthem La Marseillaise wMost nations have anthems, defined as "a song, as of praise, devotion, or patriotism";[1] most anthems are either marches or hymns in style.

For example, India's anthem Jana Gana Mana is written in a Sanskritized version of Bengali, which are both official languages of India.[11] States with multiple national languages may offer several versions of their anthem. For instance, Switzerland's national anthem has different lyrics for each of the country's four official languages: French, German, Italian, and Romansh.[12] The New Zealand national anthem is traditionally sung with the first verse in Māori (Aotearoa) and the second in English (God Defend New Zealand). The tune is the same but the lyrics have different meanings. South Africa's national anthem is unique in that five of the eleven official languages are used in the same anthem, in which each language comprises a stanza.[13]as written half a century later in 1792, and adopted in 1795.[10]National anthems are usually written in the most common language of the state, whether de facto or official.
