Question 4 • Fall 24 American Government/Civics IC

What reasons support the ACLU’s stance that the the displays were unconstitutional? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The crèche and menorah are both religious symbols.
B
The constitution outlaws the expression of religion.
C
The displays were on government property.
D
The government does not have the right to endorse or promote religious practices.

Explanation

The crèche and menorah are religious symbols, and placing them on government property can make it appear that the government is supporting religion. The government may not endorse or promote religious practices under the Constitution’s Establishment Clause. The Constitution does not outlaw all expression of religion, so B is not a valid reason.
