In a controversial move, former President Donald Trump has proposed reintroducing penalties for burning the American flag.
Trump suggested that those who burn the flag should face a year in prison or lose their citizenship, reigniting debates around the First Amendment.
Flag burning is considered a form of symbolic speech protected by the U.S. Constitution, as ruled by the Supreme Court in the 1989 case *Texas v. Johnson*.
Trump’s proposal has sparked intense discussions, with supporters arguing it shows respect for national symbols, while critics see it as an infringement on free speech rights.
