a. TrueIt is not a phrase found in the First Amendment, but it is a paraphrase from Thomas Jefferson. The full quote is, "Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, (the people in the First Amendment), declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall between church and state."
