Read the excerpt from a court of appeals ruling on the stolen valor act. the stolen valor act is not only unnecessary; it also sets a dangerous precedent. if future acts follow the same principles, the government may forbid speech solely because it is a lie, even if that lie does not create damage. based on that opinion, which scenario could be punishable by law?
a. ms. jones turning in ms. smith for stealing ms. jones telling her friends that she was president of the united states
b. ms. jones refusing to stand during the singing of the united states’ national anthem.
c. ms. jones arguing with her friend in public

Ms. Jones telling her friends that she was president of the United States, is the correct answer.

Explanation:

George W. Bush, the President of the United States on 20th December 2006 signed an act into law, known as the Stolen Valor Act. This law in the United States widened the prerequisites of a former law of the U.S. approaching the illegal wear, production, or marketing of any military awards and badges.  The law made it a federal misdeed to erroneously represent oneself as having taken any U.S. service ribbon or medal. If condemned, respondents might have been detained for up to six months, unless the award prevailed about is the Medal of Honor, in which circumstance arrest could have been up to a year.

On the basis of the given opinion Ms Jones telling her friends that she was president of the United States, could be punished by law.
