During the earliest days of the United States, voting rights were limited to people who owned property or belonged to certain churches, despite the fact that this went against the
A. Free Speech Clause.
B. Establishment Clause.
C. doctrine of ‘separation of powers.’
D. doctrine of ‘clear and present danger’.
The correct answer is B. Establishment Clause.
The Establishment Clause refers to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits the government from establishing an official religion or unduly favoring one religion over another. During the early days of the United States, voting rights were indeed limited based on property ownership and religion, which contradicts the principles of equal treatment and freedom from discrimination based on religious affiliation as outlined in the Establishment Clause.
