Read the article"Religious_displays_barred_at_Wa_state_Capitol". Analyze the situation in terms of the particular provisions of the "Freedom of Religion" aspects to the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Don't forget that the First Amendment starts out with the words "Congress shall make no law"; does that mean that states can make laws that establish religion or interfere with the free exercise thereof? Or does the First Amendment, notwithstanding its specific language, apply to the states?
