Question

The president nominates ms. kite to an office in his cabinet. ms. kite belongs to a small, but unpopular religious sect. her religious beliefs become an issue during her confirmation hearing in the senate. although ms. kite's experience and education qualify her for the post, she is denied confirmation by the senate. does ms. kite have constitutional grounds to protest the senate's action? why or why not? article_______________section______________clause

Answer 1

I believe she has.

Under Article 1: Amendment 1: Section 1: Clause 1, Congress cannot be allowed pass any regulations or decisions based on a person’s race, color, ethnicity, or religion. From the case above, we can see that the Congress based its action on Ms. Kite's religion. This provide Ms. Kite with a constitutional basis to protest the decision.
