Some groups want to outlaw burning the flag. They say that people have fought and died for the flag and that citizens of the United States ought to respect that. But I say that respect cannot be leg-islated. Also, most citizens who have served in the military did not fight for the flag, they fought for what the flag represents. Among the things the flag represents is freedom of speech, which includes, I believe, the right for a citizen to express displeasure with the government by burning the flag in protest.

Which of the following is similar to the argument made by the speaker?

• The rich should not be allowed to "buy" politicians, so the Congress should enact campaign finance reform

• The idea of freedom of religion also means the right not to participate in religion, so mandated school prayer violates freedom of religion.

• The Constitution guarantees freedom to own property, so taxes should be illegal.

• Convicted felons should not have their convictions overturned on a technicality.

• In order to understand what may be constitutional today, one needs to look at what the laws were when the Constitution was enacted.

Quinn: Our state is considering raising the age at which a person can get a driver's license to eighteen. This is unfair because the age has been sixteen for many years and sixteen-year-olds today are no less responsible than their parents and grandparents were at sixteen.Many young people today who are fourteen and fifteen years old are preparing to receive their licenses by driving with a learner's permit and a licensed driver, usually one of their parents. It would not be fair to suddenly say they have to wait two more years.

Dakota: It is true that people have been allowed to receive a drivers license at sixteen for generations. However, in recent years, the increase in traffic means drivers face more dangers than ever and must be ready to respond to a variety of situations. The fact that schools can no longer afford to teach drivers education results in too many young drivers who are not prepared to face the traffic conditions of today

What is the point at issue between Quinn and Dakota?

• Whether sixteen-year-olds should be required to take drivers education before being issued a license.

• Whether schools ought to provide drivers education to fourteen- and fifteen-year-old students.

• Whether the standards for issuing drivers licenses should become more stringent.

• Whether sixteen-year-olds are prepared to drive in today's traffic conditions.

• Whether parents are able to do a good job teaching their children to drive.
