P.S.
I'm new to this country and i'm ignorant of its history NOT stupid.

Answer 1

It depends on the law of the country in question, and in the case of a Federal country such as the US / Canada / Brazil etc on the laws of the individual States.

Since you didn't tell us what country you're in, we can't even guess what the grounds are for a boycott to be illegal where you are.
