Donald L. Drakeman of the University of Notre Dame discusses newly discovered historical documents suggesting that the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause was originally meant to protect only the freedom to worship, not broader rights of conscience. He traces how Justices Brennan and Scalia expanded and narrowed those rights, and considers where religious freedom under the Constitution may go next.
