Freedom of worship in Tanzania is guaranteed by the:
- conscience of individual believers
- by-laws passed by the district council
- regulations of each registered religious body
- national constitution, Chapter One Part III
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. national constitution, Chapter One Part III
1. Freedom of worship is not left to conscience; it is written down.
2. The constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania clarifies it in Chapter One, Part III, under freedom of religion.
3. Because it is stated in an instrument of law, it counts as a legal right rather than a moral one.
4. That means it can be claimed in a court of law if denied.
5. Treating freedom of worship as a moral right was a recorded error on this item.
