An organized prayer session in a public school is seen by some to be the government endorsing a particular religion

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution brings the Free Exercise Clause, in which grants all citizens the right of freedom of religion. Therefore, one can interpret that it is allowed for anyone to organize prayers due to this freedom of religion.

However, the First Amendment also brings the Establishment Clause, in which says the Congress should not make laws respecting an establishment of religion nor prohibit the free exercise of it.

Both clauses conflict because on the one hand, citizens are allowed to manifest their religion, and on the other hand the government can not manifest support to any religion.

Therefore, organizing prayer session in a public school can harm the Establishment Clause that prohibits the state of supporting religions, since a public schools are financed by the government.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was rendered moot, or legally useless, by
klemol [59]

Answer:

Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise of the US Constitutional Convention is an agreement between the Northern and Southern states of America regarding the manner of population count that needs to be done for the basis of taxation and determining representation in the House of Representatives. This agreement is famous for its decision to count only three-fifths of the slave population for the population count.

This agreement not only wrongly number the slave population thereby leading to lesser representation in the House, but it also prevents landowners from paying the full tax on their property as only three-fifths of their slaves were accounted for.

This <u>Compromise was later rendered moot or useless by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution in its Section 2</u>. As Section 2 of the Amendment states <em>"Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed." </em>
