Additionally, as a nation that values its freedoms, we recognize that there are limits to our liberties as well. This struggle has taken on more relevance today as we grapple with serious questions regarding our most cherished freedoms.

For this writing assignment, you are to write about the regarding civil liberty below and provide an argument on it. Topic 2: Baked-in Discrimination? In June 2018, The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Colorado baker who refused to sell a cake to a gay couple on religious grounds (Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission). The baker believes that decorating cakes is a form of art (expression) through which he can honor God and that it would displease God to create cakes for same-sex marriages. Therefore, in his view, selling a cake to the couple would force him to endorse their same-sex marriage, and thus infringe on free speech rights. The aggrieved couple filed a discrimination complaint with the state arguing that the baker’s refusal violated a state law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Question to answer: Does the Supreme Court ruling allow for discrimination? How does the government rectify the First Amendment right to freely practice one’s religion with civil right laws that forbid denial of service, employment, or housing? Should businesses be allowed to justify denying services to someone on religious grounds? These resources CANNOT be the only sources you cite in your essay.
