Freedom of Religion, The First Amendment, And the Supreme Court: How the Court Flunked History
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion .." The genesis of the first ten words of the Bill of Rights, known as the Establishment Clause, is examined in depth from both a historical and political perspective. Exploring the philosophical foundation and the origins of the most widely associated phrase "separation of church and state", this book also documents the evolution of interpretation over several centuries.
Citing numerous cases, Adamson explains why he believes the United States Supreme Court has misinterpreted the historical context of this amendment. As is evident in their rulings, they have redefined these ten words that bears no relationship to its true meaning. Through the research of hundreds of pages of diaries, letters, debates and publications this author builds a case for the meaning our forefathers intended when authoring this clause in the summer of 1789.
