Senator Quintero donates money to his local church from his personal checking account. Senator Kleinman donates money from a federally funded account to her church.

Based on this scenario, which senator is in violation of the establishment clause?

B Senator Quintero is in violation because he donated a large amount of money to the church.
C Senator Kleinman is in violation because she took the money from a federally funded account.
D Neither senator is in violation because they have the right to donate to any religious group.

Respuesta :

C. Because the federal funded account is a clear violation of separation of church and state protected by the U.S Constitution.

The correct answer is C) Senator Kleinman is in violation because she took the money from a federal funded account.

The Senator who is in violation of the establishment clause is Senator Kleinman is in violation because she took the money from a federal funded account.

The Establishment Clause in the United States Constitution refers to the freedom of religion. This clause prohibits any government official to donate money from a federal fund account to any kind of churches. So Senators and Representatives can make donations from their personal check accounts, but they cannot donate from federal funded accounts. That represents a violation.
