Correct answer:
The establishment clause stops the government from favoring a religion, and the free-exercise clause allows people to express and practice their religion.
Brief explanation: both are in the First Amendment. The establishment clause prevents government endorsement or support of religion (no official church, no school prayer mandated by the state), while the free exercise clause protects individuals' rights to hold and practice religious beliefs (subject to generally applicable laws and limits).
