It has been demonstrated that Keyes INcorrectly observes, "No language in the 14th Amendment deals with this power of government."
On its face, The U.S. Supreme Court has held that the First Amendment binds the federal government:
"Congress shall make no law ... ."
As a general statement of religious liberty, however, the First Amendment also binds state governments.
For religious liberty is part of the body, the corpus, of fundamental liberties guaranteed by the 14th Amendment:
"No state shall deprive any person of ... liberty ... without due process of law."
