Alena Maldonado · Answer 2

B. The establishment clause

Explanation:

The establishment clause which is also known as establishment of religion clause. It stops any state in the United States from having a preferred religion.

This law hinders a State from being biased towards any religion. All religions are to be treated equally.

In this case, the 10percent was asked to be donated to the Protestant church.

This shows some bias towards a religion which is a breach of the law of establishment.
