Question

Explain why it was difficult to pass a constitutional amendment banning flagburning even though most Americans wanted to outlaw flag desecration

Answer 1

Im pretty sure it’s.....

The Supreme Court rules that burning the American flag is a constitutionally protected form of free speech. A constitutional amendment that would have banned flag desecration failed to win the necessary two-thirds vote in the Senate, with only 51 Senators voting in favor of the amendment and 48 voting in opposition.
