Summarize what happened in the Texas vs. Johnson supreme court case.Supreme Court Case

The case of Texas v. Johnson was decided in 1989 and is a
very famous and controversial case.  In this case, the Supreme Court held that laws
against the burning of the United States flag are
unconstitutional.


Basically the Court reasoned that these
types of laws are aimed at the content of speech.  These
laws are saying that a certain message (presumably, in this case, the message that you
dislike the flag or what it stands for) may not be expressed in the United
States.


The Court held that such a law is a violation of
the First Amendment.
