The United States Constitution provides the separation of church and state in the First Amendment. This amendment is part of the Bill of Rights, which is part of the United States Constitution. The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments in the constitution.

The First Amendment exercises the freedom of religion, speech, press, and the right to hold protests as long as they are peaceful. It also obtains the ability to stand up to the government and even sue them if necessary. Along with this, the First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” This is a clear separation of church and state.
