Title: Church, state, and original intent
Description: Donald L. Drakeman describes the ways in which Supreme Court justices have portrayed the Framers' actions in a light favoring their own views about how church and state should be separated. He then marshals the historical evidence, leading to a surprising conclusion about the original meaning of the First Amendment's establishment clause: the framers originally intended the establishment clause only as a prohibition against a single national church. --from publisher description.
