Political Law, 2012 Bar — Question 40

MULTIPLE CHOICE

The Gangnam Style’s Witnesses (whose tenets are derogatory to the Catholic Church), applied for a permit to use the public plaza and kiosk to hold their religious meeting on the occasion of their founding anniversary. Mayor Lebron allowed them to use the northwestern part of the plaza but not the kiosk (which is a few meters away from the Catholic church). Members of the Gangnam Style Witnesses claim that the act of Mayor Lebron is a violation of their freedom of assembly and religion. Is this correct? (A) N0, because this is valid exercise of police power. (B) Yes, because the plaza being of public use can be used by anybody regardless of religious belief. (C) No, because historical experience shows that peace and order may be disturbed whenever two opposing religious groups or beliefs expound their dogmas. (D) Yes, because there is no clear and present danger in holding a religious meeting by another religious group near a catholic church.
