Read the below passage carefully and answer the questions:

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, if true, would weaken the speaker's argument?

AAn action is not considered a part of freedom of speech.

BPeople who burn the flag usually commit other crimes as well.

CThe flag was not recognized by the government until 1812.

DState flags are almost never burned

EMost people are against flag burning.
