The Establishment Clause contains this protection. It says that Congress cannot "make a law respecting an establishment of religion," and it prevents the federal government from promoting or showing preference for a religion.

The "Establishment Clause" is the 1st Amendment provision that prevents the creation of a religious government. The opening words of the 1st Amendment form this "Establishment Clause,," which prohibits the government from establishing a religion. That is, the government cannot set up a church or create laws that aid a particular religion or favors some types of religion over others..

Here is what the 1st Amendment states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

The primary reason colonists demanded independence was
Softa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson is considered the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, although Jefferson's draft went through a process of revision by his fellow committee members and the Second Continental Congress.

How the Declaration Came About

Map of the British Colonies in North America in 1763Map of the British Colonies in North America in 1763

America's declaration of independence from the British Empire was the nation's founding moment.  But it was not inevitable.  Until the spring of 1776, most colonists believed that the British Empire offered its citizens freedom and provided them protection and opportunity.  The mother country purchased colonists' goods, defended them from Native American Indian and European aggressors, and extended British rights and liberty to colonists.  In return, colonists traded primarily with Britain, obeyed British laws and customs, and pledged their loyalty to the British crown.  For most of the eighteenth century, the relationship between Britain and her American colonies was mutually beneficial.  Even as late as June 1775, Thomas Jefferson said that he would "rather be in dependence on Great Britain, properly limited, than on any nation upon earth, or than on no nation."[1]

But this favorable relationship began to face serious challenges in the wake of the Seven Years' War.  In that conflict with France, Britain incurred an enormous debt and looked to its American colonies to help pay for the war.  Between 1756 and 1776, Parliament issued a series of taxes on the colonies, including the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Duties of 1766, and the Tea Act of 1773.  Even when the taxes were relatively light, they met with stiff colonial resistance on principle, with colonists concerned that “taxation without representation” was tyranny and political control of the colonies was increasingly being exercised from London.  Colonists felt that they were being treated as second-class citizens.  But after initially compromising on the Stamp Act, Parliament supported increasingly oppressive measures to force colonists to obey the new laws.  Eventually, tensions culminated in the shots fired between British troops and colonial militia at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.

If you were accused of being a "Red" how would you have defended yourself against McCarthy?
Igoryamba

I would have yelled at her because that is rude. Then I would have proceeded to tell her that I am not red but black. Then I would kindly give her a two-piece with fires and a butter biscuit with the large sprite on the side. And after I beat her up, I would walk away. <3
