Description

In the landmark case City of Boerne v. Flores, the Supreme Court struck down a major federal statute-the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993.

This decision raised questions not only about religious freedom in America, but also about federalism and separation of powers.

Using the narrative framework of a tense dispute that divided a small Texas town, Waltman offers the first book-length analysis of the constitutional jurisprudence involved in the passage of the act.

Congress, the Supreme Court, and Religious Liberty shows how this case and others like it stimulated and advanced an intense legal debate still ongoing today: Can and should the Supreme Court be the exclusive interpreter of the Constitution?
