Respuesta :

The author of the quote most likely agree with the statement that the U.S. Supreme Court should have the ability to strike down a law limiting prayer on public property.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

“Give me Liberty or Give me Death” statement was declared in second Virginia Convention on 1775 by Patrick Henry and the quotation he delivered while Virginia Ratifying Convention was directing towards the concern regarding liberty rather than increasing trade or being a powerful person.

For the same, he would better agree that U.S. supreme court must have the potential to remove such law which says that prayers are limited on the public property.

In the U.S, the 1st Amendment drew a boundary between public and religious constructions, but boundaries are not highlighted and the reason behind it is as courts have also welcomed requests regarding civil religion in public buildings and also as secularism should be maintained in the nation.
