LAW3 631 - Constitutional Law II: Church and State

This course examines the two clauses in the Bill of Rights which define and safeguard religious freedom—the one barring laws “respecting an establishment of religion” and the other protecting the “free exercise of religion.” The interaction of these two provisions takes place in varied settings, from public school classrooms and assemblies to government support of church-related schools, to religious symbols and seasonal displays on public property. Tensions also arise in such special contexts as prisons, health care, the military, and government benefit programs.
