The Supreme Court outlawed daily bible reading and the saying of the Lord’s Prayer in Jewish schools in 1963 because the question was whether prayers and religious practices in public schools were in violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment which forbids a government role in establishment of religion and Federal interference in individual freedom of conscience on religious issues. Justice Clark said that required religious exercises in schools were not “mitigated” by the fact that individual students may be excused “for the fact furnishes no defense to a claim of unconstitutionality under the establishment clause.” Nor is it a defense to claim that religious practices may be “relatively minor encroachments on the First Amendment,” he argued.

Evidence from the passage can be found in the following parts: “Among these temples there is one which far surpasses all the rest, whose grandeur of architectural details no human tongue is able to describe”, “The stone and wood of which they are constructed are so well wrought in every part, that nothing could be better done”, “Three halls are in this grand temple, which contain the principal idols; these are of wonderful extent and height, and admirable workmanship”.
3) According to the excerpt, Cortez did not agree or understand the religion of the natives, especially the part of human sacrifices. He tried to convince natives that there was only one God and that there was not such a thing as receiving favors from the Idols.
