The Tension Between Equal Protection And Religious Freedom, John M. Greabe
The Tension Between Equal Protection And Religious Freedom, John M. Greabe
Law Faculty Scholarship
[Excerpt] "The Constitution did not become our basic law at a single point in time. We ratified its first seven articles in 1788 but have since amended it 27 times.
