Yes, the federal government cannot pass a law that infringes upon a person's right to free speech -- and displaying the confederate flag is a form of free speech. However, a government CAN remove images of the confederate flag from government property (i.e., redesigning state flags that include the stars and bars, etc.) Since the confederate flag has racist connotations, it would not be unreasonable for states to remove the confederate flag from statehouses and other government property. Private citizens could still fly the confederate flag exactly the same way that they are still allowed to display swastikas without government interference.

What was going on in the world in the 1930's to allow the Holocaust to happen?

What does justified going to war mean?
It means there is a justifiable reason for going to war. Take for example World War 2. Hitler was killing millions of people and invading countries against their will. That deemed a reason to go against Hitler. He was wrong to do what he did and he had to be stopped. Another justifiable reason is when a people group or nation is under threat or attack. The United Nations deems it to be a justifiable reason for going to war against the foe. An example of that was when Iraq wanted to go into Kuwait to steal their oil and rule over them.

Who were famous people against the 19th Amendment?
Knowing about some of the people who were alive in 1920 I am going to take an educated guess at the answer. I know that President McKinley was against women's suffrage and had some of the women involved in the movement arrested. Henry Ford would have also been against the amendment. He was not a very nice man and was against women working. Most men in this time were against a woman having any rights.

Which amendment to the Constitution protects the freedom of the press?
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution garantees "freedom of speech" and "freedom of the press." This amendment was one of the original ten amendments that make up the Bill of Rights and were added to the Constitution before it was even ratified by the states. The First Amendment does protect the press from censorship, but that does not mean that the press can print whatever they wish to print. The government is able to censor the press if the press is going to publish some information that would be a threat to national security. An example of such a thing that the government would be allowed to censor would be if the press was going to print the codes to release the nuclear bombs that the U.S. government has. However, this is an extreme example and it is only in very rare cases that the government needs to utilize this power. The major gaurantee that the press has from their protection under the First Amendment is that they can say bad things about politicians and the government in gerenal (as long as it does not fall under libel or slander), without being punished by the government for their actions.
