Religion And The Law In The Clinton Era: An Anti-Madisonian Legacy, Marci A. Hamilton Apr 2000

Religion And The Law In The Clinton Era: An Anti-Madisonian Legacy, Marci A. Hamilton

Law and Contemporary Problems

Hamilton first examines Pres Bill Clinton's rhetoric, and then his Administration's actions to promote religious free exercise. She hopes to show that the Administration has integrated religious entities into administrative agenda-setting, which is consciously intended to serve religious ends.


The Culture Of Belief And The Politics Of Religion, William P. Marshall Apr 2000

The Culture Of Belief And The Politics Of Religion, William P. Marshall

Law and Contemporary Problems

Religion has stood at the center of the American stage during the years of Bill Clinton's presidency. Marshall argues that the political manifestation of religion is not confined to the instances when religion becomes involved in express political activity, such as lobbying or partisan politics, but rather, religion must be understood as a pervasive social force that has an inevitable political effect.


Threading Between The Religion Clauses, Ira C. Lupu Apr 2000

Threading Between The Religion Clauses, Ira C. Lupu

Law and Contemporary Problems

A careful review of the overall record suggests that Pres Clinton's Administration has been more solicitous of the First Amendment's Religious Clauses as a whole than can normally be expected of elected national officials and their appointees.


When A King Speaks Of God; When God Speaks To A King: Faith, Politics, Tax Exempt Status, And The Constitution In The Clinton Administration, Randy Lee Apr 2000

When A King Speaks Of God; When God Speaks To A King: Faith, Politics, Tax Exempt Status, And The Constitution In The Clinton Administration, Randy Lee

Law and Contemporary Problems

In considering the guidance the executive branch of government has provided to resolve questions relating to religious freedom and the issue of church and state, Lee draws upon the positions of both the IRS and the President. Initially, he concludes that when the state requires churches committed to speaking truth in the public square to choose between publicizing their beliefs and remaining tax-exempt, it burdens the free exercise of religion.

Separation And Schools, Kent Greenawalt Jan 2000

Separation And Schools, Kent Greenawalt

Faculty Scholarship

In commenting on these rich papers by Michel Troper and Michael McConnell, I first analyze the implications of legal and political theory for religious liberty and separation of church and state. I then turn to underlying premises of modern liberal theory about moral education and tolerance among citizens. Lastly, I concentrate on separation as it affects the schooling of children. Despite Professor Troper's emphasis on the uniqueness of French understanding and history, I was struck by how closely French problems about schooling, and their possible resolutions, resemble those in the United States.
