Federal Constitutional Law: The First Amendment (Volume 6) (Federal Constitutional Law Series)

This is the sixth volume in the Federal Constitutional Law modular casebook series. This innovative modular concept facilitates focused study of federal constitutional law. Federal Constitutional Law: The First Amendment also works as a stand-alone text for a First Amendment class. Volume 6 explores the original purposes and intentions for the adoption of the First Amendment, which illuminates the book's coverage of: the Free Speech Clause, the Free Exercise Clause, and the Establishment Clause.

Like all volumes in the series, Federal Constitutional Law: The First Amendment focuses on the key arguments employed by the Supreme Court. Each case is followed by an exercise that contains detailed suggested questions that engage students in the reading, facilitate their mastery of the material, and prompt robust classroom discussion.
