Question

Which of the following is similar to the argument made by the speaker?

• A. The rich should not be allowed to "buy" politicians, so the Congress should enact campaign finance reform.
• B. The idea of freedom of religion also means the right not to participate in religion, so mandated school prayer violates freedom of religion.
• C. The Constitution guarantees freedom to own property, so taxes should be illegal.
• D. Convicted felons should not have their convictions overturned on a technicality.
• E. In order to understand what may be constitutional today, one needs to look at what the laws were when the Constitution was enacted.

Answer 1

The correct option is B The idea of freedom of religion also means the right not to participate in religion, so mandated school prayer violates freedom of religion.

This is the best choice because it relates to a situation where a proposed law would actually violate the part of the Constitution it is intended to protect.
