JOMC 486 Test 1 Solved 100% Correct!!
Brandenburg was convicted under the Ohio Criminal Syndicalism law which
prohibited (brandenburg vs. ohio)
advocacy of violence to bring about industrial or political reform.
Brandenburg was filmed at a rally of (brandenburg vs. ohio)
the Ku Klux Klan.
In the 1927 Whitney v. California decision, the U.S. Supreme Court had said a
criminal syndicalism statute similar to Ohio's was (brandenburg vs. ohio)
constitutional.
According to the Supreme Court, advocating violent means to effect political
change is unlawful only when (brandenburg vs. ohio)
it is directed to incite imminent lawless action.

(Texas vs. Johnson)
Desecration of a venerated object.
Which of the following is an interest the Texas used to justify Johnson's
conviction? (Texas vs. Johnson)
Preserving the flag as a symbol of nationhood.
The Supreme Court first had to determine whether Johnson's burning the flag
was expressive conduct meaning (Texas vs. Johnson)
he intended to convey a message that was likely to be understood by those who viewed
it.
In its majority opinion, the Supreme Court ruled that the restrictions on
Johnson's expression were unrelated to the suppression of expression. (Texas
vs. Johnson) (TRUE OR FALSE)
false

flag-burning. (Texas vs. Johnson) (TRUE OR FALSE)
true
Barry Black burned a cross at a (virginia vs. black)
rally of Ku Klux Klan members.

on the front lawn of a neighbor.
The "prima facie" provision of the Virginia law said jurors could presume (virginia
vs. black)
that the cross burning was done with the intent to intimidate others.
The Supreme Court said the First Amendment allows states to punish cross
burning done with an intent to intimidate because such acts amount to (virginia
vs. black)
a true threat.
The plurality opinion found the Virginia statute unconstitutional because it
(virginia vs. black)
the prima facie provision eliminates the need to prove an intent to intimidate.

In its opinion, the Supreme Court of Nebraska said that the government may
regulate or punish speech that causes emotional injury but does not provoke an
immediate breach of the peace. (Drahota vs. NE) (TRUE OR FALSE)
False.
The Nebraska Supreme Court concluded Drahota's emails were not fighting
words because (U.S. vs. Alvarez)
Avery could not have immediately retaliated because he did not know who sent the
emails.

pointing out that he was a public official at the time and therefore not entitled to
the same privacy protections as private citizens. (U.S. vs. Alvarez) (TRUE OR
