Question 2 • CMS 2026-2027 Founding Principles of the US and NC: Civic Literacy CREDIT RECOVERY

Which example violates the free-exercise Clause?

Answer
A
stopping a religious group from buying a building based on their faith
B
allowing a private company to run weekly prayer sessions
C
stopping a religious group from forcing students to pray in public school
D
allowing a student to wear religious clothing

Explanation

The Free Exercise Clause protects people and groups from government restrictions on religious practice. Stopping a religious group from buying a building because of its faith targets that group’s religion, so it violates the clause. The other examples either allow religious expression or prevent religious activity from being imposed in public schools.
