ISBN: 9780029187500 - the establishment clause: religion and the first amendment (13 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Leonard Levy's classic work examines the circumstances that led to the writing of the establishment clause of the First Amendment: 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. . . .'
