Answer:

I don´t think that we should amend the Constitution to be able to pass laws banning the desecration of the U.S. flag. Although it may be offensive, it´s also a form of political expression, and therefore, banning it would be in violation of the First Amendment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every national symbol belongs to every citizen and can be used to express ideas despite how disagreeable it might be.
