What was the conflict in Texas v. Johnson in 1984?
Texas v. Johnson was a First Amendment case in which the Supreme Court overturned a Texas state law that prohibited burning the flag on the grounds that "expressive" political speech (an action that symbolizes an expressed opinion) was protected by the Constitution.The conflict involved Gregory Johnson's right to engage in an action some members of society found offensive in order to protest President Reagan's War Chest policies during the Republican National Convention in 1984. Some of the onlookers reported feeling offended by the flag desecration, which triggered Johnson's arrest.The Texas law stated desecration is illegal if "the actor knows it will seriously offend one or more persons," and was punishable by a $2,000 fine and/or one year in prison. The Court held the law was a deliberate attempt at suppressing free speech, and therefore was unconstitutional. Johnson had the right to invoke First Amendment protection because the burning occurred in the context of a political protest.Case Citation:Texas v. Johnson, 491 US 397 (1989)For more information, see Related Questions, below.
