Overview
The First Amendment: Cases-Comment-Questions, 3rd Edition presents notes and questions that force readers to come to grips with the diversity of perspectives arrayed in the rich literature of the first amendment, and proceeds from the assumption that the variety of first amendment values can best be studied in notes and questions as they emerge from concrete cases rather than from an abstract characterization and classification imposed on the student at the outset of study. The new edition includes the latest developments involving subsidies to the arts, campaign finance, financial aid to religion, commercial advertising, anti-abortion demonstrations, the association rights of the Boy Scouts, access to the media, the methods of the press in gathering information (including the Food Lion case), and a wide range of material involving sexually oriented or indecent speech from nude dancing to the Internet.Synopsis
