    Expanded freedom of speech to include symbols.

    Johnson burned an American flag to protest Reagan's presidency.

    He was found guilty of flag desecration but the when the case came to the Supreme Court, the Court decided it was a protected form of free speech. The Court stated that the government could not declare a symbol and only allow it to be used in a means found acceptable by the government. They stated that just because the action is not agreeable to others doesn't mean it shouldn't be protected.
