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 United States policy established in the late
irinina [24]

Answer:

Open door policy.

Explanation:

Open door policy refers to the United States policy established in the late 19th century and the early 20th century that would allow for a system of trade in China open to all countries equally. This policy was enunciated (proclaimed) by John Hay who was the secretary of state of the United States of America.

Basically, the open door policy sought to keep China open to trading with all other countries on an equal basis and without bias towards any of the imperial powers such as Germany, France, Britain, Japan and Russia. It prevented all of the aforementioned countries of being dominant or having a total control of the Chinese economy.
