Answer:

Establishment clause

Explanation:

The establishment clause is an amendment to the United States constitution that forbids the Congress from passing any law that has to do with the establishment of religion.

It also forbids any action by the government that would make it favor one religion over another religion.

Answer: The establishment clause

Explanation: The Establishment Clause is a limitation placed upon the United States Congress preventing it from passing legislation forcing an establishment of religion, broadly making it illegal for the government to promote religion with taxpayer resources.

In 1962 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the application of the establishment clause to prayer in public schools. In a 6-1 decision known as Engel v. Vitale(brought by parents of ten pupils in a school district where prayers were said), the Supreme Court ruled that the prayer was unconstitutional as a violation of the establishment clause of the First Amendment.

It doesn't matter whether the prayer is nondenominational and voluntary, or that it was voted on and led by students, it still involved indirect coercion as it was implemented by the public school district and therefore the establishment clause applies to the school district above too.

Explain how the Marshall Plan and the Berlin airlift aided the US in achieving their post-war goals.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The Marshall plan helped prevent the turn to communism of Western Europe, which was a possiblity, especially in Italy and France, where communist parties where very strong.

The logic of the Marshall plan was to help rebuild and develop Western Europe, to show them the benefits of capitalism and a market economy, and prevent like that, the spread of communism from Eastern Europe.

This goal was achieved because no Western European country turned to communism since the end fo the World War, even when socialist and communist parties got to power.

The goal of the Berlin airlift was to prevent a shortage of goods in West Berlin after the Soviet Union blocked supplies to the city.

The Soviet Union wanted to force the US to abandon the city by blocking Berlin, since the Soviet Union dominated all areas sorrounding Berlin. However, the US was able to keep control of West Berlin by supplying the city through air.

Maintaining control of West Berlin was very important for the US for both strategic and symbolic reasons, and the success of the Berlin airlift was a crucial part of the strategy.
