Answer 1

D) congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press

Answer 2

D) Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press.

Step-by-step explanation:

From all the options, it is the statement "D" the one that provides for limiting the power of the government: it prevents the government from establishing an official religion in the nation (and thus, separating church and state) and from denying the freedom of speech and the press to people. In fact, this excerpt is part of the First Amendment which is one of the amendments that made up the Bill of Rights and that was created to place limitations to the power of the government and to guarantee some of the fundamental rights of people.
