Question

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo tried to limit the number of

people attending religious services to 10 or 25 people in some parts of the
state during the coronavirus pandemic. The Supreme Court ruled that he
cannot do this. Which amendment did he violate?

Answer 1

First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which protects the freedom of religion and freedom of assembly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The First Amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." By attempting to limit the number of people who can attend religious services, Governor Cuomo was violating the freedom of religion and the right to peaceably assemble, which are both protected by the First Amendment.
