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 b. ms. jones telling her friends that she was president of the united states c. ms. jones refusing to stand during the singing of the united states’ national anthem. d. ms. jones arguing with her friend in public

The correct answer is "B".

Ms. Jones has lied to her friends by saying she was president of the United States.

According to the Stolen Valor Act, Ms. Joces would be in fault as she is claiming that she has received military recognition when in fact she hasn't.
