Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Burning a replica of the American flag is considered a form of symbolic speech protected under the First Amendment, as established in cases like Texas v. Johnson (1989). The other actions listed involve activities that either pose a direct threat to public safety, infringe on privacy rights without due process, or are aimed at suppressing free speech through intimidation or unlawful surveillance, which are not protected under the First Amendment.
