I believe prayer in school should be allowed. The First Amendment states that we are allowed to have freedom of religion. So why is prayer in school not allowed?

Although they had a court with whom they consort on occasion, the king held the ultimate power and little could be done or said to question his authority. Most nations that were formerly ruled by kings, however, now have some sort of constitution in place that prescribes a more democratic approach to government.

In US jurisdiction, a treaty that is not self-executing does not create a cause of action or provide a remedy.
