In this session, students will examine the historical context and the drafting of the #FirstAmendment’s free exercise and establishment clauses. Students will examine the protections enshrined in the First Amendment’s #religion clauses. They will explore the Interactive Constitution to study the religion clauses’ text and history and how the #SupremeCourt has interpreted them over time. Finally, students will compare and contrast the questions, opinions, and dissents in a series of Supreme Court cases to define when the free exercise and establishment clauses do and do not limit government action.
