Constitutional Connection:  

Article V, Amendment l

"Freedom of religion, speech, the press, assembly, and petition."

Explaination of Connection:

          Many politicians like Republican Mike Pence, a representative of Indiana, feels that it "not appropriate" for an Islamic community center and mosque to be built two blocks away from where the Twin Towers fell. He also said that it wouldn't be right for a Japanese history museum to be built on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor so in this case, it also wouldn't be appropriate to build the mosque and community center near ground zero. President Barack Obama continues to say that the First Amendment states the freedom of religion, but he later clarified his remarks

          This article clearly demonstrates Amendment l of the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution. The President has the right to allow this to happen because allowing anyone worship any faith virtually anywhere in the United States. When people say that the mosque should't be built, they are basically challenging the Unites States Constitution. Even though these freedoms are stated in the Constitution, they are either limited or broken at times.

          To me, I feel that the mosque should be built. I say that because its not like that the Muslims will walk down the street and bomb the Twin Towers again. I'm sure that if and when the mosque is built, there will be more security in that area just because there are Muslims near ground zero, but thats another story.
