- The Establishment Clause is a part of the First Amendment that states that the government can’t establish an official religion or favor one religion over another. The Lemon Test is a way for courts to decide if a law violates this clause.
- Burning the US flag is protected by the First Amendment. This was established in the Supreme Court case Texas v. Johnson. The Court ruled that flag burning is a form of free speech, despite many people finding it disrespectful. The idea is that the First Amendment protects all types of free speech no matter who it offends.
- When someone says “I’m taking the Fifth,” they mean they are refusing to answer questions that might incriminate them. It’s a way to protect their rights and avoid self-incrimination under the 5th amendment.
