Issue

The American Constitution provides the guiding principles that influence decisions made by different systems in federal and state systems. In the State of Texas, legislation that directed courts to erect a cross at the front of sala was passed. The legislation also dictated that a short Christian prayer should be done before every court proceeding in the state. After examining some constitutional provisions, it is evident that this state is unconstitutional in the United States.

Rule

The legislation passed in the courts of the State of Texas should be directed by rules and laws set by the American constitution. The United States constitution has laws governing the law-making process and making changes in systems around the country. The development of law in each state in the country follows a procedure that ensures its viability in the stated jurisdiction. Elected legislative representatives assess a law’s applicability before considering it (National Archives n.p). Another law about the issue is the freedom of religion and religious displays in government properties (LLI n.p.). The constitution offers people freedom of religion and expression. Therefore, the constitution contains laws that should govern legislation development in the State of Texas.

Analysis

The law passed in the courts in the State of Texas are unconstitutional. The disqualification of these legislations emerges from the process that the district judge used to have the law passed in the court. First, he used a friend to get the legislation passed in the state. He was expected to follow the process of law-making provided by the constitution (National Archives n.p). The law also dictates that a short Christian prayer should always precede hearings, which denies other religions their freedom. The legislation forces people to uphold religious practices that diverge from their beliefs. Therefore, these characteristics disqualify the state law from being constitutional.

Conclusion

The court legislation set in the State of Texas is unconstitutional. Constitution law requires laws to follow a defined procedure during their development. The constitution also requires state systems to observe religious freedom in each state. The court legislation did not follow the set procedure, and it dictated that people must uphold the rules that favored one religion.
