This is the story of some of the most anguished constitutional
controversies of our time, those involving the issue of separation
of church and state. Few questions stimulated debate as intense as
that over prayer in public schools and public aid to parochial
schools. In contrast to previous studies, which have focused on the
substance of the issues, Frank J. Sorauf's book concentrates on the
judicial process in its social and political context. The author
discusses all sixty-seven cases in this area of litigation decided
by high American appellate courts from 1951 to 1971. He has
interviewed the plaintiffs, attorneys, and members of the groups
bringing suit, and describes their strategies and goals, their
successes and failures. The community context in which the cases
developed, as well as the judges and the courts deciding them, is
described and analyzed. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
