Yes, A is correct. D is not.
Thank you!
For the first question, the correct answer is C: Unalienable rights force the government to act within certain boundaries. The unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness limit the powers of government by placing restrictions on what the government can and cannot do. These rights exist independently of government and cannot be taken away or infringed upon by the government. Therefore, the government is bound to respect and protect these rights without unduly interfering with individuals' freedoms.
Regarding the second question, the correct answers are A: A father objects to his son's school including a daily prayer and D: A family's religious beliefs prohibit the use of blood transfusions. The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the government from establishing or promoting any particular religion. It ensures that there is a separation of church and state. In the given examples, both A and D involve situations where the government, through schools or medical practices, potentially infringes upon individuals' religious freedom. Therefore, these examples illustrate the protection provided by the Establishment Clause.
