Question 23 • United States History and Geography

Read the excerpt from the US Constitution. No religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. In regards to religion, what is the meaning of the excerpt?

Answer
A
People do not have to pass an exam to become an elected official.
B
Citizens must have a religious background to become an elected official.
C
Citizens cannot be blocked from a political position based on religion.
D
People have the right to practice which ever religion they choose.

Explanation

A religious test means requiring someone to follow or profess a particular religion as a condition for holding public office. The excerpt says no such test may be required, so citizens cannot be denied a political position because of their religion. That is choice C; the passage does not describe a general right to practice any religion, as choice D suggests.
