Final answer:

The establishment clause prohibits government favoritism towards any religion; the free exercise clause empowers individuals to practice their faith freely. Together, they ensure religious freedoms.


Explanation:

The establishment clause of the First Amendment prevents the government from endorsing a state-sponsored religion, ensuring impartiality towards all religious beliefs or non-belief. On the other hand, the free exercise clause prohibits the government from regulating individuals' religious beliefs and practices, protecting the right to worship freely.

These two clauses work together to guarantee religious freedoms by maintaining a balance: while the establishment clause prevents government favoritism towards any religion, the free exercise clause empowers individuals to practice their faith without government interference.
