Freedom of Religion, The First Amendment, And the Supreme Court: How the Court Flunked History - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion . . ."" After hearing a speech in which the audience was queried on their knowledge of these 10 words, known as the Establishment Clause, Barry Adamson realized with embarrassment that he lacked that understanding himself. He immediately began an intense study of the First Amendment and its intended purpose. After interviewing several people about their experience with the Establishment Clause, he realized that, like him, few understood its meaning. In addition, Adamson found that most volumes written on the subject were not written for the average person, inspiring him to author an evenhanded, easy-to-read book. His intention was to provide ""an objective chronicle of the historical origins of the phrase 'establishment of religion' and what our forefathers originally meant when they adopted the First Amendment.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Barry Adamson cuts through the modern confusion and returns the original clarity with breathtaking simplicity. This book is a must-read for every citizen who cares about the future of his country.-David Barton, WallBuilders>In colonial America, everyone knew the meaning of the terms establishment and established church: an official, monopolistic governmental religion. The colonists also well knew the various negative attributes associated with the established church, especially compelled financial support and attendance. Every colonial state, except Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, had an established church at one time. Before the revolution, some states had disestablished their churches. Those who had suffered most, especially the Baptists of Virginia, demanded protection in the form of a Bill of Rights. Virginia refused to ratify the constitution unless this amendment was added, and it became the First Amendment, stating, Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, nor prohibit the free exercise thereof. In his book, Adamson explains in detail how the Court flunked history and got it wrong, how they seized on a phrase not even in the constitution, and have gradually built freedom of religion into a restraint of religious liberty. The Bill of Rights was a guarantee of freedom to the citizen. The court is busy building restraints to that freedom. N° de réf. du vendeur CIN1589805208G
