Question 10 • CMS 2026-2027 Founding Principles of the US and NC: Civic Literacy CREDIT RECOVERY

The establishment clause would prevent

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

Explanation

The Establishment Clause prevents the government from endorsing or promoting religion. A mayor’s office is a government building, so displaying a cross there could appear to be government endorsement of Christianity. The other choices concern private religious activity, which the clause generally does not prohibit.
