Review: Liberty of Conscience: The Attack on America's Tradition of Religious Equality


Liberty of Conscience: The Attack on America's Tradition of Religious Equality by Martha C. Nussbaum

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


A nice read, particularly for anyone interested in some of the more legal history surrounding the First Amendment's religious clauses and the dual protection of free exercise of one's religion and freedom from the government imposing a particular religion. I tend to do a fair amount of constitutional law work, particularly with the First Amendment, so there wasn't much in the book that surprised me, but its a definite read for anyone wanting to understand the legal history of the issues that are more often coming to the forefront of our modern political debates.
