Which of the following cases arose from a state law that mandates public schools to begin the school day with the reading of a nondenominational prayer by a school official? A Engelv. Vitale (1962) B Gideon v. Wainwright 1963) C Baker v. Carr (1962) D ) square

## Step 1
The question is asking us to identify a specific case that arose from a state law mandating public schools to begin the school day with the reading of a nondenominational prayer by a school official. This is a question about U.S. Supreme Court cases and their historical context.

## Step 2
The case Engel v. Vitale (1962) is the correct answer. This case arose from a state law in New York that required public schools to begin the day with a non-denominational prayer. The Supreme Court ruled that this was unconstitutional, as it violated the First Amendment's prohibition on the government establishing a religion.

## Step 3
The other options, Gideon v. Wainwright (1963) and Baker v. Carr (1962), are not related to this specific issue. Gideon v. Wainwright dealt with the right to legal counsel for defendants in criminal cases, while Baker v. Carr dealt with the issue of one person, one vote in redistricting.
