The Politics Of God And The Woman's Vote: Religion In The American Suffrage Movement, 1848-1895, Elizabeth B. Clark

Publications

This thesis examines the role of religion— both liberal and evangelical Protestantism— in the development of a feminist political theory in America during the nineteenth century and how that feminist theory in turn helped to transform American liberalism. Chapter 1 looks for the genesis of women's rights language, not in the republican rhetoric of the Founding Fathers, but in the teachings of liberal Protestantism and its links with laissez-faire economic theory. The antebellum understanding of rights is shown to have encompassed social and civil rights alike, and to have arisen from a vision of the mutual benefits that derived from …

Of Courts, Clauses And Native American Culture: Lyng V. Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Association, Bill Peters

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This Casenote discusses the Supreme Court opinion in Lyng v. Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Association, which approved road construction across land held sacred by various North American Indian tribes. The Note examines the free exercise clause of the first amendment under which the Indians challenged the Forest Service project, and that clause's development through constitutional case law as a guarantee of fundamental religious rights. This Note suggests that the Court's incremental departure from strict scrutiny analysis in free exercise controversies has, at least for Native Americans, culminated with the decision in Lyng.

Forum Juridicum: Church Autonomy In The Constitutional Order - The End Of Church And State?, Gerard V. Bradley

Journal Articles

"Separation of church and state" is right up there with Mom, apple pie, and baseball in American iconography. If everyone agrees on separation of church and state, why does the relationship between religion and public life so vex, excite, and confound us? Part of the reason is that church-state separation, although it is the historical achievement of societies decisively shaped by a Christianity that was itself decisively shaped by Judaism, is a commodious concept.

But "separation of church and state" is not contentless, and our conclusive agreement on it, I submit, provides a valuable common frame of reference in an …
