Question

In some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, religion plays a strong role in laws governing how people live their daily lives. For example, during the celebration of Ramadan, it is illegal to eat, drink or smoke in public during daylight hours (even in your car!). In the United States, the Establishment Clause of the Constitution is supposed to prevent religion from playing this sort of political role (although it doesn’t always). What reasons might there be for favoring the Establishment Clause? What reasons might there be for opposing it?

Explanation / Answer

Establishment Clause:

In the Constitution law, an amendment was introduced by which a restriction placed on Congress that they can’t make any law to support any religion or to prohibit the exercise of any religion.

This was done to maintain the privacy of religion, freedom of free exercise which is the constitutional right of every citizen.

Reason for favouring Establishment clause:

Reason for Opposing Establishment clause:
