美國國旗是星條旗（theStar-SpangledBanner），旗面左上角為藍色星區(qū)，區(qū)內共有9排50顆白色五角星，以一排6顆、一排5顆交錯。星區(qū)以外是13道紅白相間的條紋。50顆星代表美國50個州，13道代表最初北美13塊殖民地。據華盛頓說：紅色條紋象征英國，白色條紋象征脫離它而獲得自由。更普遍的說法認為，紅色象征勇氣，白色象征自由，藍色則象征忠誠和正義。2024/1/313美國國旗介紹HistoryoftheUnitedStatesflag--1Nationalflagsarenotmerelysymbolsofacountry.Theircolorsanddesignsconveypasthistoryandfuturegoals.Flagshavepowerfulconnotations（內涵）.Theyspeaktothepeopleandpoliticians.Peopleofonecountrywillburntheflagofanotherwithwhosepoliticstheydonotagree.Toshowtheiranger,studentsdisplaytheirownnation'sflagswiththedesignalteredorcutoutcompletely.Dictatorsflyflags;dissidents（持不同政見者）ripthemdown.Ineverycountryoftheworld,thetreatmentofaflagdisplaysanopinionorstatement.2024/1/314美國國旗介紹HistoryoftheUnitedStatesflag--2Americanstakethetreatmentoftheirflagseriouslyandinthe20thcenturythishasbecomeanimportantissue.Includedinthecodeofethicsaresuchrulesasthenationalflagcannotbeusedforadvertising.Itcannotcoveramonumentoranyceilings.Itmustnotbefoldedwhilebeingdisplayed.NooneshouldwriteonanAmericanflag.Shipscanlowertheirflagsslightlyingreetingeachother,butotherwiseshouldnotbedippedforanyotherobjectorperson.2024/1/315美國國旗介紹HistoryoftheUnitedStatesflag--3Inthelate1960s,Americanstudentsworesmallflagssewntothebackoftheirjeans,symbolicallyinsultingtheAmericangovernmentandprotestingitsinvolvementintheVietnamWar.TheyburnedtheAmericanflaginfrontoftheCapitolBuilding（國會大廈）inWashingtonasastatementofprotest.Intheearly1990s,senatorssuggestedanamendmenttotheConstitution（憲法）thatwouldmakethistreatmentoftheflagillegal.Theproposition（提議、議案）wasopposedbecausemanyothersfeltthatthischangewouldbeaviolationofAmericans'constitutionalrightstoexpresstheiropinionsfreely.
