Detailed explanation-1: -The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision in favor of Johnson. The high court agreed that symbolic speech – no matter how offensive to some – is protected under the First Amendment.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), the Supreme Court struck down on First Amendment grounds a Texas flag desecration law. The 5-4 decision has served as the center point of a continuing debate regarding the value of free speech as exercised through the burning of the U.S. flag as a form of political protest.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Texas v. Johnson, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Johnson, overturning flag desecration laws in 48 states. The controversial 5-4 decision held that flag burning is a form of symbolic speech, which is protected under the First Amendment. Therefore, any laws prohibiting flag desecration are unconstitutional.
Detailed explanation-4: -Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), is a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court held, 5–4, that burning the American flag was protected speech under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as doing so counts as symbolic speech and political speech.
