Chief Learning Officer Kerry Sautner and Senior Fellow for Constitutional Studies Thomas Donnelly examine the protections enshrined in the First Amendment’s religion clauses. They explore the Interactive Constitution to study the religion clauses’ text and history, and how the Supreme Court has interpreted them over time. Finally, our National Constitution Center education team will compare and contrast the questions, opinions, and dissents in a series of Supreme Court cases to define when the free exercise and establishment clauses do and do not limit government action.
