“The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field.”
Seems correct.
After reading the article on Wikipedia, it seems they have more rules about handling the flag than the Catholics have about the cross. And they don’t follow around 2/3 of them, especially the MAGA types.
Edit: This made me read the code about my country’s flag. A lot of the same stupid rules. This one made me burst out laughing: “If a flag is to stay out after dusk it should be well lit”. Is it fucking afraid of the dark?
I think your description of the American flag is out of date. We only had 48 stars from 1912-1959. Though that does mean a lot of the most iconic depictions of the flag do fit this.
Naw it does always have to be within light. It comes from the revolutionary war “and our flag was still there”; in that our nation shall never see darkness. Sadly, unrelated to flag standards, that very much has not been the case.

i’ll be in the cold cold ground before i recognize missourah. or utah.
Flags when not in a well lit environment:
That one seems pretty standard. Either you take it down at sunset and put it up at sunrise, or you leave it up 24/7, and you need to have it lit up.
The weirder one for me is that you have to burn the flag if it touches the ground
That’s a myth. But don’t let the flag touch the ground is still stupid.
