A Seventh-Day Adventist declined a job that required him to work on a Saturday, which is the holy day for Seventh-Day Adventists. Because he declined a job, the federal government denied him federal unemployment benefits. The Supreme Court would rule that this decision by the government was
 
  A) constitutional, because to single out the Adventist for special consideration would amount to an establishment of religion by the federal government.
  B) unconstitutional, because the Adventist had the right to his free exercise of religion.
  C) unconstitutional, because the First Amendment's right to assemble includes the right not to assemble for reasons of religious conscience.
  D) constitutional, because the establishment clause only applies to actions of state governments, not the federal government.
  E) unconstitutional, because under the Fourteenth Amendment all Americans, regardless of religion, have a right to unemployment benefits when they have no job.
