• Currently, flag burning is not illegal in the United States. The Supreme
Court of the United States in its decision from 1969 has ruled that the
burning of the flag is protected by the First Amendment. However, the
person who burnt the flag can be found guilty of a misdemeanor for
starting a fire without a permit.
• Interesting that the burning of the flag has been against the law until
1969. The first U.S. Supreme Court ruling on flag desecration was
passed in 1907 in Halter vs. Nebraska case. Most early flag desecration
statutes prohibited burning a flag or any other ways of disrespecting
the flag. Later, in 1968, Congress responded to the burning of the
American flag in the Central Park as the protest against the Vietnam
War by passing the Federal Flag Desecration Law. This law prohibited
any display of “contempt” directed against the flag. Thus, burning of
the American flag had been illegal until 1969 when the Supreme Court
ruled the decision to award the First Amendment protection to the
burning of the flag.
• Furthermore, in a few court cases it has been declared that it
is only illegal to burn the US flag if the flag would be stolen. In
fact, burning the flag is one of approved ways to destroy a too
worn or torn flag.
• For the past 20 years, the Congress has made seven attempts
to overrule the Supreme Court decision regarding the burning
of the American flag by passing a constitutional amendment
that had an exception to the First Amendment and allowed
the government to ban flag desecration. The Amendment was
first proposed in 1990 but failed to receive the required twothirds majority votes of the House. After 1994, when the
Republicans took over the Congress, the Amendment has
consistently passed in the House but failed in the Senate.
