- Title
PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION…FOR GOD: RELIGIOUS MONUMENTS AFTER MCCREARY AND VAN ORDEN.
- Authors
Clement, Edith Brown
- Abstract
The author focuses on two U.S. Supreme Court cases involving the public display of the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments under the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. One case concerned the display of the text of the Commandments along with a statement indicating the role of the former in influencing American law and the other case involved a granite monument showing a text of the Commandments as well as two stars of David and the Greek letters Chi and Rho. A judge ruled that the latter case is constitutional while the former is not.
