The wall of separation between church and state is best found in what clause of the Constitution?
AnswerThe separation between church and state is actually not stated within the Constitution, but instead was in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson.AnswerWhile 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."

Who favors freedom of speech more liberals or conservative?
Liberal means "like a free person," and so liberals favor more freedom for more people. Conservative means "keeping it the way it is," and so conservatives do not favor more freedom for more people. At first blush, the above may seem correct however, when "change" reflects greater intrusion by the government instituting greater institutional control over the lives of citizens then it becomes more obvious that "liberal" does not always advance to cause of freedom. Conservatives favor smaller, less intrusive government leaving more freedom of choice to the individual so, based upon this ideology, reverting back to less government control translates into more freedom for the general populous.
