What's More Important, Protecting Our Flag or Our Constitution?

http://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/burn-flag-or-burn-constitution

Fulton, Sandra. "Burn the Flag or Burn the Constitution?" aclu.org. 1 Jul. 2011. n.p. Web. 5 Oct. 2011.

In this article the author explains the issue of flag desecration and that some people have proposed laws against it, but then that would go against our first ammendment, the freedom of speech. She goes on to question what flag desecration actually means and how Congress should enforce a law against it, because desecrating the flag can mean many different things. The authors intent for this article was to convince people that making a law against flag desecration would do no good for our country because of how vague the idea of it is, and the intended audience would be anyone who was interested. The author really puts things into perspective in a good and effective way.

I dont think this would be a very good topic for me because its not really something that interests me enough to research it further. This would be a good topic for people against flag desecration to read to get another point of view from, and for other people interested in this topic as well.
