Explanation:
- The separation of powers limits the president's ability. The President has less power than Congress. Congress may let the president declare war.
- "Equal treatment under the law" means everyone has the same legal protections. The Supreme Court held that Texas's speech laws violated Johnson's freedom.
- The 1st Amendment allows flag burning as a form of protest. The Supreme Court held that Texas's speech laws violated Johnson's freedom.
- Public demonstrations cannot violate local laws or threaten others.
- If the President refuses a reasonable request from Congress or the courts, the Supreme Court might require him to comply. If Congress passes a measure the president believes is unconstitutional, the Supreme Court might strike it down if they concur. This Supreme Court lawsuit would restrict the President's authority and make him responsible to Congress.
- Miranda v. Arizona (1966) has had a far-reaching influence on accused rights. This Supreme Court decision established the Miranda cautions, which must be read to detainees before interrogation. Miranda warns suspects that they can remain silent and seek legal counsel.
