Question #58d63
1 Answer
The first amendment of the US constitution states that congress will make no law prohibiting the free exercise thereof ( religion)
Explanation:
This phrase of the first amendment has been clarified to state that there are can be no restrictions or qualification about a persons religion . A person cannot be required to hold any specific religious conviction to hold political office neither can a person be disqualified from holding political office because of religious convictions.
The prohibition clause is also intended to prevent laws being passed that penalize or harm a person because of their religious views or lack of religious views.
The present law suits regarding discrimination against people based on the religious views of business owners is a question about the extent and application of the protection provided by the free exercise clause.
