AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.4
Considering landmark court cases, how do interpretations vary between Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause within the First Amendment?
Both clauses relate exclusively to public officials’ religious practices.
Only the Free Exercise Clause has been subject to Supreme Court interpretations.
Establishment Clause cases often center on government involvement in religion, while Free Exercise Clause cases typically deal with individuals' ability to practice their religion.
The Supreme Court interprets both clauses identically.
