Your Rights: Freedom of Religion

Question 15 • *FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

The establishment clause would prevent

Answer
A
a church from being built in a Jewish area
B
the mayor’s office from displaying a cross
C
a citizen from placing a religious scene in a business
D
the president from having a Christmas party at home

Explanation

The Establishment Clause bars the government from endorsing or promoting a religion. A mayor’s office is a government property, so displaying a cross there could appear to be an official religious endorsement. The other choices involve private religious activity, which the clause generally does not prohibit.
