Abstract

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion "

This single phrase, referred to as the Establishment Clause, has created much confusion among legal scholars throughout the latter part of the Twentieth Century and particularly the past two decades. This confusion, in my opinion, can be attributed to historical ignorance, misapplication, or both.
