Having disassociated themselves from an oppressive government with a strong central religion, the Founding Fathers of the United States acknowledged the freedom to practice one's religion when writing the nation's constitution. Subsequent constitutional amendments further drew a line between the ecumenical and the secular. Detailed descriptions of Supreme Court cases on the topic offer readers a clearer understanding of the original intent behind separating church and state, as well as how interpretations of such matters have impacted U.S. legislation.

      Gr 7 Up-This series explores the Constitution in terms of how it was created: how it applies to history and current society and how it shapes policy, law, civil rights, and the way we live today. The series highlights seven different subjects that are affected by the way the Constitution is interpreted, with background information and modern-day applications provided. Students will come away with a broad picture of how important the Constitution was and remains. The authors collectively strive to maintain an objective voice, even when dealing with heavily debated topics such as abortion and gun control. Though the books are text heavy in parts, the language is concise and straightforward. Chapters are broken down with clear subject headings and text boxes containing additional information. Overall, a solid series.
