Her right to worship (freedom of religion)

Explanation:

Marilyn felt her right to worship has been violated because she was fired for not going to work on Sunday, which is the practice of her religion not to work on Sunday.

The company should not violate any right of the citizen.

Marilyn has the right to worship on Sunday as Stated by her religion unless the contract of agreement in the company says otherwise. If she accepted the condition of working on Sunday in her employee contract, then the company hasn't violated any right.
