    B. Focus on freedom of expression. They have in common the attitudes taken by the court before the expressions of the individuals. The case of 1919, attacks the individual for his expression against the war. The 1969 case the individual is condemned by the expression of his speech. Case 1989 condemns the individual for his expression of repulsion when burning the flag. The latter case is justified as a conviction for the offense to the flag, while the others are sentences for repression against the rights of expression.
