The Establishment Clause is part of the First Amendment, and it means the government cannot create or support an official religion. It keeps church and state separate. The Lemon Test comes from a court case called Lemon v. Kurtzman. It’s used to check if a law breaks the Establishment Clause. A law must have a clear, non-religious purpose, must not help or hurt religion, and must not make the government too involved with religion. If it fails any part, it’s unconstitutional.

Burning the US flag is protected by the First Amendment as a form of free speech. This was decided in the case Texas v. Johnson (1989). The Supreme Court ruled that even though many people find flag burning offensive, it’s still a form of political expression, and the government can’t punish someone just because their message is unpopular.

When someone says “I’m taking the Fifth,” they are using their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent so they don’t have to say something that could get them in trouble. This is the right against self-incrimination. It means they don’t have to answer questions in court or during police questioning if it could be used against them.
