The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects individuals' rights to practice their religion freely. Among the options provided:
A. Permitting slavery - This would not be allowed as it violates individual rights and is contrary to the principles of freedom and equality.
B. Firing guns into the air - This is generally regulated by law and does not pertain to religious exercise.
C. Disobeying traffic laws - While individuals might claim a religious exemption, this would not generally be protected under the Free Exercise Clause, especially if it endangers others.
D. Not attending worship services - This is allowed, as the Free Exercise Clause protects the right to choose whether or not to engage in religious practices, including attendance at worship services.
Therefore, the answer is **D. not attending worship services.**
