The wall of separation between church and state is best found in what clause of the Constitution?
Answer
The separation between church and state is actually not stated within the Constitution, but instead was in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson.
Answer
While the first answer is literally correct, the First Amendment Establishment Clause is usually invoked to prevent intermingling of government interests (including any tax-supported institutions, like public schools) with religious interests.
The Free Exercise Clause is intended to ensure government doesn't interfere with the private practice of one's religious beliefs.
Amendment I
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
