This country was established by people who immigrated here to practice their religion. The Establishment Clause today states that the United States can\u2019t associate itself with any religion or church. To make sure this stands the Lemon Test was made, the Lemon Test basically makes sure that no law benefits or side with a religion more than another. This way the government does not associate itself with practicing a particular religion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Burning the US flag is not protected by the first amendment because the flag for the United States represents the union of all the states. Burning the flag can be used to call the attention of other citizens and inciting violence or opinions that can become a threat. When pro-communist Gregory Lee Johnson burned a flag while protesting he made the government pass a law called the Flag Protection Act. The act struck down as unconstitutional but Congress is still trying to pass an act against this action. I think that burning the flag and recording it to upload it on social media counts as a speech and not just an action. Once a crowd can see it, it can disrupt peace.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When someone says \u201cI\u2019m taking the Fifth\u201d they are exercising their right to not state information that may incriminate them or another person. They have a right to say that they don\u2019t remember. Furthermore, the fifth protects the us from double jeopardy, being charged for the same thing twice.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9107,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"portfolio_post_id":0,"portfolio_citation":"","portfolio_annotation":"","openlab_post_visibility":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-discussion-board-9-1","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-a500-fall-2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-a500-fall-2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-a500-fall-2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-a500-fall-2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9107"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-a500-fall-2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5922"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-a500-fall-2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5922\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5925,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-a500-fall-2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5922\/revisions\/5925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-a500-fall-2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-a500-fall-2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-a500-fall-2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
