Book Review / The Establishment Clause
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page comprehensive analysis of Leonard Levy's (1986) "The Establishment Clause: Religion and the First Amendment." It is pointed out that only in the middle decades of the 20th century have the religious clauses of the U.S. Constitution been so extensively interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court as the basis for a religiously pluralistic society. The writer then goes into a thorough explication of issues explored by Levy and posits that Congress often acts beyond its inherent Constitutional boundaries.
