amendments?

Question

what is the meaning of the exercise clause in the first amendment?

Answer 1

Very simple -- the govt cannot tell someone how to worship, or whether to worship, or what to worship (if anything).

It's the balance against the anti-establishment clause -- the govt cannot sponsor or promote religion -- and they cannot prohibit or regulate religion.
