簡介
《The History of Burning Drafts》是StardustLegend於2019年6月8日投稿至YouTube的Synthesizer V英文原創歌曲，由愛蓮娜·芙緹演唱，殿堂曲。
本曲是作者的歷史課大作業，講述了美國在越戰期間關於公開燒毀徵兵卡的法律爭論。
本曲主要講述了兩次法律判決，分別關於John Miller和David O'Brien燒毀徵兵卡是否是在行使第一修正案賦予他們的正當權利。
John Miller在1965年公開燒毀他的徵兵卡後，美國聯邦第一巡迴上訴法院於1966年判他有罪，詳情見維基百科。他是美國第一個因公開燒毀徵兵卡而被判有罪的人。
David O'Brien將燒毀徵兵卡的爭議一路帶到了最高法院。在這一名為United States v. O'Brien的案件中，最高法院判斷摧毀徵兵卡與國家利益相悖，且與言論自由無關，因此此前的判決不違憲。

Chief Justice Warren had this to say,

Was not free speech of face
不僅僅是行使言論自由的權利。
The case was 7 to 1, majority saying that they need
本案以7比1通過，占多數的法官認為他們需要
A test to see whether or not a protest act is valid
一個測試判斷抗議行為是否合法
They determined that if the government's own interests,
他們決定，如果一件事關係到政府的利益
Where within constitutional power people should not resist.
並且這件事合乎憲法，那麼人們就不能反抗。
The interest of Drafts itself were unrelated to,
徵兵與
The freedom or suppression of the first amendment dues.

How sad for those who live in the poor and the middle class,
