Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Religion and Law examines the role of religious freedom in American history, from colonial days to the present, focusing on documents that predate the first amendment of 1791, as well as upon central supreme court cases that helped define what "legal religion" means as a category in the United States. Students will read court cases and become familiar with arguments for and against the ideal of religious freedom, including court cases involving the Amish, Mormons, Santeria, and the use of religious symbols in public places.
