What previous Supreme Court ruling was similar to Murray v. Curlett?
Marbury v. Madison
Engel v. Vitale
Loving v. Virginia
Plessy v. Ferguson
Answer
Engel v. Vitale, a landmark 1962 Supreme Court case, shares similarities with Murray v. Curlett. In Engel, the Court ruled that a state-composed prayer violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, raising concerns about government interference in religious practices. Murray v. Curlett, which challenges the constitutionality of a state-sponsored religious display, presents similar issues regarding government endorsement of religion.
