  • Principles or Procedure?0

    Do the religion clauses of the First Amendment say anything meaningful about the respective roles of the church and the state? In "Wrong Jurisdiction" (Liberty, March/April 1998) law professor Steven Smith argues that the Founders "carefully avoided" adopting any principle of religious freedom, but instead deferred the entire question to the state governments.
