Religious Liberty as American History

Title

Religious Liberty as American History

Description

This essay demonstrates how the the development of the law of religious freedom in the United States helps to define the nation's history. Professor Bonventre uses religious liberty as a perspective from which to view America's history generally. Major events, documents and Supreme Court decisions are used to illustrate how the struggles between individual religious rights on the one hand and government or societal interests on the other help to elucidate where the nation has been and what it is today.
