The Establishment Clause is part of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the government from establishing an official religion or unduly favoring one religion over another. It ensures that there is a separation of church and state, meaning the government cannot promote, endorse, or financially support religious activities. This clause is essential in protecting religious freedom by allowing individuals to practice their faith without government interference or coercion.
