Ap gov frq: will give 20 more points if you actually help me (A) Identify the constitutional clause that is common to both Wisconsin v. Yoder (1972) and Oregon v. Smith (1989).

(B) Based on the constitutional clause identified in part A, explain why the facts of Wisconsin v. Yoder led to a different holding than the holding in Oregon v. Smith.

(C) Describe an action that members of the state legislature could take if they disagreed with the decision in Oregon v. Smith.

Explanation:

Wonderful question.

1. It was the free exercise clause which is part of the first amendment which basically allows you to do as youd please, in relation to this case it was on the basis of religion.

2.The first upheld that religion was an acceptable reason and protected by the first amendment. however in the second case they argued that since in the workplace the situation didn't directly involve religion that it was not protected.

3. They could introduce a bill that overturns the previous legislation or take a note/letter to the Supreme Court.

Hope this helps! it's super late haha
