The Christian Right Movement in Conflict with Constitution

The Constitution of the United States acts to translate the ideals of a country and ensure the success of a democracy. The document was written in an era of hope, inspiration, and uncertainty. For over two centuries it has been revered as the supreme law of the land. Through this history, the Constitution has been deferred to for the most contentious social issues in America, often leading to contentious outcomes. Yet, its lasting preeminence in America makes the Constitution an enduring document. Anyone who wishes to contest the relationship between religion and government in the United States must first refer to the U.S. Constitution.
