the essential cases and documents

"This volume is intended for citizens and students who seek to understand the U.S. Supreme Court's church-state jurisprudence. The cases and documents presented comprise the most important legal materials pertaining to the First Amendment's protection of religious liberty. The included Supreme Court cases are presented chronologically, which, it is hoped, will help the reader grasp how various First Amendment church-state doctrines were developed and have changed over time". -- PAGE xix
