1.The Establishment Clause prevents the government from establishing a state religion or favoring one religious convictions over others, ensuring religious freedom for all. The Lemon test determines if a law violates this clause, determines whether that law has a secular purpose, inhibits or promotes religion, and results in excessive government entanglement. However, to my understanding, this test is still applicable, especially in church-state separation

2. The Supreme Court, in Texas v. Johnson, ruled that flag burning is a form of figurative speech protected by the First Amendment. Though this act triggers the anger of many, the Court reasoned that free speech cannot be limited to acceptable speech. This case makes me realize that the US Constitution provides strong protection for free speech for American citizens.

3. The Fifth Amendment protects people from self-incrimination, meaning they cannot be forced to testify against themselves in criminal cases. This right prohibits any pressure put on a particular person to obtain information that will be used against him as much as his preservation is necessary for equal elements in the legal process.
