Overview

The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to apply all that you have learned in this course to a significant current issue. As a result, you should be able to draw some conclusions about the current state of our constitutional and religious history in the U.S. in the 21st century. You will get to look at a specific issue in contemporary culture from the vantage point of our constitutional history. You will also have the opportunity to assess where the United States is today in terms of our legal and religious history.

One of the most controversial areas of Supreme Court recent adjudication lies in its decisions related to religion and politics. You will get to explore two important recent cases regarding religion and politics in the specific area of marriage and marriage ceremonies. These two recent significant cases are Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) and Masterpiece Cake Shop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission (2018). Both cases involve highly contentious issues that get at fundamental debates in contemporary America.
