Constitutional Law II #28: Introduction to Establishment Saturday, Nov 18 2006
1L and Constitutional Law and Constitutional Law II and Neil Wehneman and University of Cincinnati College of Law 5:50 pm
We now turn to our final topic in Constitutional Law II, the Religion Clauses. The clauses protect the free exercise of religion, as well as ensuring against the establishment of a religion (aka “separation of church and state”). We will talk a bit about the historical context of the Religion Clauses, as well as two foundational cases.
Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptists
Everson v. Board of Education (SCOTUS, 1947)
Lemon v. Kurtzman (SCOTUS, 1971)
