Where in the Constitution is that? |
U.S. Const. Amend. I, cl. 1; U.S. Const. Amend. XIV, sec. 1.
See, e.g. Engel v. Vitale, 370 U.S. 421, 82 S.Ct. 1261 (1962) (holding that use of a public school system to encourage recitation of prayer by students is "wholly inconsistent with the Establishment Clause").

U.S. Const. Art I., sec. 8, cl. 3; U.S. Const. Art. I., sec. 8, cl. 1.
