Think Freedom of speech is one of the most basic rights protected in the Constitution. There are, however,
certain limits on this freedom. One type of "speech" that has been controversial has been flag burning.
In 1990, Congress passed a law making it illegal to burn American flags. Later that year, the Supreme
Court ruled that this law was unconstitutional. The court said that the law went against a citizen's
right to free speech, as protected in the Constitution.
