A. The no tests clause and the free exercise clause
B. The establishment clause and the due process clause
C. The establishment clause and the free exercise clause
D. The religious tests clause and the due process clause

Best answer:

Answer by It’s That Guy
C. Establishment clause and free exercise clause. This means that government (1) can’t establish an official religion for the country and (2) can’t make any laws that affect the free exercise of religion.

There is a religious tests clause in the Constitution itself, saying that there can be no religious tests to hold office, meaning that you can’t be excluded from holding office if you belong to, or don’t belong to, any particular religion.

إقرأ كتاب: عمرو خالد في ميزان الشريعة I start by the name of Allah, and ask Him to endow upon us the clear understanding of alsunna of the Prophet. A man named ^Amr Khalid, who is an Egyptian Accountant that suddenly became a big fan for many people for claiming to be a so-called modern “scholar” or caller to Islamic knowledge. He uses a certain way to attract students from women and men, but has ignorance built up due to reading un-authentic books and making his own opinions in the religion.. He has many other beliefs that are not from a Qur’an or Sunnah. The question is not how this man became to that position or why?. The issue is with his false and abhorrent sayings that no two Muslims can accept or to believe in!! Among the deviant sayings of Amr Khaled are: -He claims that people can have any religion or belief that want. (Freedom of beliefs) -By using his weak and ill slang language he attributes to Allah attributes of the creations. -He claims that Allah “awaits” at nights for the repentance of the sinful Muslim. -He claims that Satan (Shaytan, the devil) did not commit kufur!!! He has many other beliefs that are not from a Qur’an or Sunnah. We ask Allah to protect us and you from such beliefs, and to guide us always to the true path of Ahlus-Sunnah. Hence: Beware of the teachings of Amr Khaled, and warn from them. Allah knows best www.alsunna.org .

Amendment II Presents Military-Focused Bullet Proof Products to Blue Star Mothers

Amendment II Presents Military-Focused Bullet Proof Products to Blue Star Mothers











Albuquerque, New Mexico (PRWEB) January 05, 2012

Families of those currently serving honorably in the United States military and those who have served themselves have united together to make the most protective combat apparel, RynoHide™, more accessible to US troops. Their goal is to significantly reduce casualties and decrease potentially life-threatening injuries to soldiers in the line of fire.

The Rio Grande Chapter of Blue Star Mothers of America will now be able to facilitate the access of RynoHide™ products to soldiers through Thank A Warrior Foundation.

Amendment II’s military Combat Ready Uniforms (CRUs)™ are created with RynoHide™ protection, a revolutionary compound developed by Amendment II, LLC, based in Salt Lake City, Utah. RynoHide™ armor is the focal point of a developmental line of tactical body armor that has never before been available. It has the capacity to protect front line personnel at all potential threat points on the body. Combat Ready Uniforms™ have the exact look of standard military uniforms, yet they provide unrivaled protection.

Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc., is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-political organization. They are a nationwide conglomerate of mothers who now have, or who have had, children serving honorably in the military. They promote patriotism and support American troops.

Thank A Warrior Foundation, a non-profit organization, similarly honors Americans serving their country as military heroes. The foundation provides exceptional and rewarding outdoor opportunities and experiences for members and veterans of the US Military and their families. Thank A Warrior recognizes the need to bring as many troops home safely as possible, and has therefore pledged to help groups like the Blue Star Mothers obtain Amendment II’s products.

Thank A Warrior Foundation has provided a major step in achieving this vital goal. All who are associated with the Rio Grande Chapter of the Blue Star Mothers of America are now, through the Thank A Warrior Foundation, able to obtain RynoHide™ products, manufactured exclusively by Amendment II, at a significant discount. John Fierro, Executive Vice President of Amendment II, soon hopes to present this offer on a national scale.

Amendment II’s innovations promise to drastically reduce tactical vulnerabilities because they address and overcome the life-saving limitations of uniforms currently in use by the United States Department of Defense.

Amendment II is a veteran and minority owned business established specifically to save the lives of the men and women who put their lives on the line every day in dangerous jobs from security and law enforcement to military combat. Through research, development, and manufacturing, Amendment II constantly works to improve the line of personal defense available using cutting edge technology. The mission of Amendment II is simple: They want to save lives. Veterans and civilians who have dealt with the ravages of war agree with that vision.

The founder launched Amendment II based on his personal field experience with nearly a decade in the US Armed Forces during which he performed over 75 Secret Special Operations missions. His technical expertise formulated during his military tenure as well as success in entrepreneurship have provided a solid foundation through which a viable and critical business has emerged. Consistent with this vision, Amendment II is a business about cutting down on casualties and injuries.

14 amendment citizen are you still a slave?

Sovereigns Living Souls coming out of mothers womb onto the land of a state of the union are “Sovereign”, “Freemen”, and “Freeborn” unless that right is given up knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily upon full disclosure. Amendment X “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, …are reserved to …the people.”

Looking forward for constitutional amendment bill

The Centre finally makes it clear that it is not possible to bring Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) under the scope of the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST), as per the model suggested by the states.

 

The Oil Industry came out with a demand to include crude oil and its products, and natural gas in the upcoming GST regime. We often used to see different fuel prices from states to states and the main reason for this is the different tax rates structure followed by the states according to their budgetary targets.

 

Earlier our Finance Ministry proposed to keep crude oil, petrol, diesel, ATF and natural gas permanently outside GST through a Constitutional Amendment. There are many states in India who heavily depends on collections from levies on oil products to make up for their budgetary targets. So this has been proposed basically to protect the finances of states. However, recently a letter has been written by the Petrofed, a body representing both public and private sector companies like Indian Oil Corp, seeking inclusion of crude oil, petrol, diesel, aviation turbine fuel (ATF) and natural gas in the Goods and Services Tax .

]]>

 

According to Petrofed, the inclusion of petroleum products under GST will eliminate twisted wires of taxes paid by suppliers as well as by the industry at different stages in the petroleum value chain. Further, it will also enable the States and the Centre to capture full revenue potential up to sale to final consumers.

 

The 13th Finance Commission has also recommended that petrol, diesel, ATF, crude oil and natural gas should form part of GST legislation. Even it has also recommended that, if necessary, an additional tax can also be levied on these commodities in addition to the GST to look after the financial concerns of the states. But our Finance Ministry wants to keep them permanently out of the GST through Constitutional Amendment.

 

It is well known fact that a lot of things is required to be done for the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax but one thing is certain here that the Government is looking forward to continue the GST process as well as at the same time will try to develop the Consensus between the Centre and the State Governments.

University of Baltimore Student Newspaper Hosts First Amendment Festival on Sept. 17

University of Baltimore Student Newspaper Hosts First Amendment Festival on Sept. 17











FAFFf


Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) September 16, 2007

The UB Post will host a First Amendment Free Food Festival on Monday, Sept. 17, Constitution Day, from 3:30 to 6 p.m. on the University of Baltimore’s Gordon Plaza. This unique, interactive event will give students and others a glimpse into what life would be like without the free speech rights — freedom of the press, freedom of speech, the right to assemble, freedom of religion, and the right to petition the government — guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. The event is free and open to the public. Gordon Plaza is located at the corner of Maryland and W. Mt. Royal avenues.

Here is how the festival will work:


     Guests will “sign away” their First Amendment rights in order to enter a fenced-off area of the plaza, where free food, drink and other giveaways will be available to all participants.
     Select students will act as “enforcers” to demonstrate to participants what it means to live without First Amendment rights.
     In addition to the enforcers, there will be staged performance pieces to demonstrate what happens when First Amendment rights are taken away.

Nedra Cruz, a graduate student in UB’s publications design program and editor in chief of The UB Post, said the idea for the festival came from a college newspaper convention that she attended last spring. While there, she learned that Florida Atlantic University had successfully hosted a festival about the First Amendment, and their students believed it was a good way to recognize Constitution Day. Post staff members talked with their counterparts at Florida Atlantic’s student newspaper, and Cruz and her fellow students decided to bring the idea to UB.

“We’re recognizing Constitution Day, but we’re doing it in a fun, festive way so that students can enjoy — and nourish — themselves while coming to appreciate their First Amendment Rights,” Cruz said. “Our goal isn’t to offend anyone, but we hope to enlighten the community about its rights and how they can be taken for granted. It’s hard to believe that, in the 21st century, there are still countries where citizens don’t have the freedoms that we have in America.”

The UB Post is the student-run monthly newspaper of the University of Baltimore.

The University of Baltimore is a member of the University System of Maryland and comprises the School of Law, the Yale Gordon College of Liberal Arts and the Merrick School of Business.

14th Amendment Citizenship: Citizen or citizen?

Prior to the alleged ratification of the 14th Amendment, there was no legal definition of a “citizen of the United States”, as everyone had primary citizenship in one of the several states. The Constitution referred to the sovereign state citizen, and no one else. Those who went to Washington, DC or outside the several states were commonly called “citizens of the United States.” In the Constitution for the United States, the term was used to identify state citizens who were eligible under the suffrage laws to hold office, and they were required under the Constitution to have primary allegiance to one of the several states. Since that term was not specifically defined in the US Constitution, Congress in 1868 took advantage of this term and utilized it in the so-called 14th Amendment to describe a NEW type of “citizen” whose primary allegiance was to the federal government, ie Washington, DC and not to one of the several states of the union. Thus, using the term as used in the US Constitution to mislead and confuse the people as to the true intent and meaning of the Constitution. Many people have mistaken the citizen as denominated in the 14th Amendment to mean the same one in the original constitution, this is in error. The “citizen of the united states” as used in the constitution is not the same as the citizen of the United States used after the 14th Amendment. So all the elected officials are NOT sitting in the office constitutionally, they are merely impostors created …

Does the Constitution or any amendment require the purchase of goods or services to legally reside in the USA?

Question by Handymam: Does the Constitution or any amendment require the purchase of goods or services to legally reside in the USA?
Does anyone know where, if at all, it says in our Constitution or any Ammendment that a citizen can be required to purchase a good or service in order to legally reside in the United States of America?

For instance, if the government decided that apples were good for a person’s health, can you be legally complelled to buy them? What about shoe leather, blueberries, toilet paper, or Health Insurance?

Best answer:

Answer by brother_lu
according to the constitution we don’t legally have to pay taxes, but you still get in a buttload of trouble if you don’t 😛

Christine O’Donnell First Amendment Separation Of Church And State

www.realestateradiousa.com | Is Christine O’Donnell real ignorant about the Costitution or is the media being horribly unfair?Where better to learn about the US Constitution than at a law school? Unfortunately for Delaware Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell, that education — which came at Delaware’s Widener Law on Thursday — was courtesy of her opponent in the race, Democrat Chris Coons, in the midst of their second debate. After scolding Coons for his lack of knowledge of constitutional law for stating that intelligent design should not be taught in public schools (a matter decided in a scathing decision in the case of Kitzmiller v. Dover School District), O’Donnell challenged her rival on his assertion that the US Constitution creates a distinct separation between church and state. “Where in the Constitution is separation of church and state?” O’Donnell asked. Upon hearing her words, the audience in the room burst into laughter. Video of the debate captures the moment at the 2:46 mark. Later in the proceedings, after fielding questions on the candidates’ views on repealing the 14th, 16th and 17th Amendments, Coons returned the conversation to the question of the constitutionally mandated separation of church and state. “I absolutely oppose the widespread proposals by tea party candidates for us to repeal the 14th, 16th or 17th amendments.” Coons said. “I also think you just heard, in the answers from my opponent, and in her attempt at saying ‘where is the separation …
