Description

This advanced course will systematically explore in depth the religious clauses of the First Amendment of the Federal Constitution. These are the guarantee of freedom of religion and the prohibition of establishment of religion. The resulting issues controversies are both provocative and exemplify competing visions of how America should evolve in an increasingly multicultural era. The unpacking of the landmark doctrine will include historical, political and social contexts. Attention will also be given to materials setting forth theoretical contexts, including modes of constitutional and jurisprudential analysis.
