Most people see the flag as the ultimate symbol of our great and glorious nation.
But what people don't understand is that an ammendment to the Constitution banning the right to burn our flag would degrade our first ammendment right to the freedom to protest. An American citizen should have the right to show their anger to our government by burning the symbol of our country. This is the ultimate protest to a governmental action. The burning of a flag hurts no one. The burning of the flag does offend people, but that right is protected under the first ammendment.
