Question

5. What is the structure of the following excerpt?

"Opinion B: Compulsory flag salute

If the main purpose of the West Virginia law in question is either to promote or to discourage some religious community or creed, it would clearly violate the Constitution. However, at its core, "this law is about promoting good citizenship and national allegiance" and unity. Elected officials do have the right and authority to pass such laws."

Answer 1

Problem/Solution

The passage raises a potential problem (the law would violate the Constitution if its purpose were to promote or discourage religion) and then resolves it by arguing the law's true purpose is promoting citizenship, so officials may pass it.
