Final answer:

The ruling in Abington Township School District v. Schempp is based on the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which protects individuals from government-imposed religious beliefs or restrictions on their own beliefs.


Explanation:

The ruling in Abington Township School District v. Schempp, where the Supreme Court cited that neither the State nor the Federal Government can force a person to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion, is based on the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

The Establishment Clause prohibits the government from endorsing a state-sponsored religion or favoring some religious beliefs over others or religion over non-religion, emphasizing the separation between church and state.

This clause ensures that individuals are protected from having government-imposed religious beliefs or having their own religious beliefs restricted by authorities.
