Tennessee’s state law dictates that “the arrangement of the tree stars shall be such that the centers of no two stars shall be in a line parallel to either the side or the end of the flag, but intermediate between the same; and the highest star shall be the one nearest the upper confined corner of the flag.”

Here’s a correct look at the stars:
