• Read Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989) on page 33 of your textbook and answer the questions under Case Analysis on page 34 of your textbook.
• Submit your analysis to the Lesson 1 Texas v. Johnson Case Review Drop Box.

Notes: Think legally when you analyze this case. I am not asking if you agree or disagree. I am asking that you take special note of legal words, facts of a case, or how the courts viewed issues in a case. When we are discussing cases or when I refer to a case, I will begin by using the entire citation. This means I will use both parties names, the volumes where the case can be found, the reporter, the page, and the year. As this course progresses, I will refer to one party in the case or the holding in the case that made it famous. For instance, "Gideon" and "The Right to an Attorney." This last sentence will become clearer as we go on with the lessons.
