select the correct answer.
which idea applies to the supreme courts ruling in engel v. vitale?
a. prayer in schools violates the establishment clause.
b. only the federal government can establish voting laws.
c. religious services in schools violate the equal protection clause.
d. courts should be involved in matters of voting rights.

Explanation:

In the case of Engel v. Vitale, the Supreme Court ruled that school - sponsored prayer in public schools violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Option B is about voting laws and federal government, which is not related to this case. Option C wrongly connects religious services in schools to the Equal Protection Clause (the case was about the Establishment Clause). Option D is about courts and voting rights, which has nothing to do with the Engel v. Vitale case. Only option A is in line with the ruling of this case.

Answer:

A. Prayer in schools violates the Establishment Clause
