Sedition laws
“[H]istorically, a red flag has been a revolutionary and terroristic emblem … Personal rights may be curbed in a rational way for the common good. Liberty is immunity from arbitrary commands and capricious prohibitions, but not the absence of reasonable rules for the protection of the community.” - Justice __, upholding the conviction of the carrier of a red flag at a Socialist rally, in Commonwealth v. Karvonen (Massachusetts, 1914) (106 NE 556).
