How does the Wyoming Constitution address religious establishment?

• A. It guarantees a state church maintaining religious uniformity.
• B. It prohibits the establishment of any state religion and guarantees free exercise of religion.
• C. It allows the state to favor a particular religion in public life.
• D. It does not address religion at all.

Answer: (B)

The main idea tested is that Wyoming’s Constitution protects religious liberty by keeping church and state separate: there is no state church and there is freedom to practice religion.

This is why the best answer is that the state prohibits establishing any state religion and guarantees free exercise of religion. The Constitution ensures individuals can worship or not worship as they choose, and the government cannot set up or endorse a particular faith or require support for a religious establishment.

The other possibilities don’t fit because they imply either creating a state church, which would violate the principle of no establishment; allowing the state to favor one religion in public life, which also breaches establishment boundaries; or not addressing religion at all, which is inaccurate since Wyoming’s Constitution includes protections for religious liberty and freedom of worship.
