What is The establishment of religion clause : the First Amendment : its constitutional history and the contemporary debate about?

<p>congress Shall Make No Law Respecting An Establishment Of Religion . . . . <br>- The Establishment Clause Of The First Amendment<br><br>unlike Many Areas Of Constitutional Law, There Is Very Little Settled Doctrine Interpreting The Establishment Clause. Not Only Is The Case Law In Flux And Inconsistent, But Scholars Disagree On Virtually Every Issue Addressed In Legal Commentary. Put Simply, There Is No Consensus On What The Establishment Clause Means. <br>because This Is Such A Contested Area Of Constitutional Law, Most Books Addressing The Establishment Clause Present A Particular Point Of View, Theory Of Interpretation, Or Doctrinal Approach. Editor Alan Brownstein Adopts A Different Approach In This Excellent Anthology Of Essays On This Important Clause Of The First Amendment. Recognizing The Range And Depth Of Intellectual Tension That Underlies This Constitutional Mandate, Brownstein Addresses Both The Historical Debate Surrounding The Original Understanding Of This Constitutional Provision As Well As Current Controversies Regarding Its Interpretation And Application By The Courts. The Reader Will Thus Find A Balanced Account Of The Competing Perspectives On Core Questions
