(A) Identify the constitutional clause that is common to both Abington v. Schempp and Engel v. Vitale.

(B) Based on the constitutional clause identified in part A, explain why the facts of Engel v. Vitale and Abington v. Schempp led to a similar holding in both cases.

(C) Describe an action that members of the public could take to limit the impact of Abington v. Schempp if they disagreed with the court’s decision.

Answer 1

A) The constitutional clause that is common in both Abington v. Schempp and Engel v. Vitale is the First Amendment, which stated that Congress must make no law that prohibits any fee exercise, abridging the freedom of speech and press, freedom of religion, and the right of the people to petition the government over grievances. In both cases, the First Amendment protects the freedom of religion of the plaintiffs.

B) Based on the constitutional clause identified in part A, Engel v. Vitale and Abington v. Schempp led to a similar holding in both cases because of the freedom of religion. In Engel v. Vitale, the plaintiff argued against the defendant that the daily prayer held in school violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. In Abington v. Schempp, the plaintiff argued against the defendant that mandatory religious activity as a school’s curriculum is unconstitutional. This activity violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment because each student has a religion unique to themselves, and the school should not ignore the students’ religious rights.

C) Members of the public could share their disagreement on the social media take to limit the impact of Abington v. Schempp. Also, they could hold rallies and petition the court to reconsider the ruling.

Answer 2

A) The constitutional clause that is in both Abington v. Schempp and Engel v. Vitale is the first amendment. In both cases it has to do with religion so they felt like it broke the first amendment because the government cant force or encourage one religion over another, so if they allowed that to happen at other schools then they would have to with other religions too.

B) They led to a similar holding case because they both had to do with religious aspects. In the Abington v. Schempp case had to do with bible ready and prayer in public schools and the Engel v. Vitale case was about being able to voluntarily pray in public schools.

C) People in the public that didn't like the decision that the court made can practice prayers someplace else. They can encourage people to go to a church or they can rent out a building or space for people to go and pray.
