Politics and Government Homework Due - Mon, Feb 13

Construct opinion analyses for the cases Everson v. Bd of Ed and Zorach v. Clauson. Your opinion analyses should mention the background and context, facts, provide summaries, deconstruct the Court's rationale and explain your own opinion regarding the Court's ruling. You should also include evidence to support your work. When possible, make connections to the Constitution, other texts or concepts mentioned in class discussions. Please type and turn in on Monday. Your analyses should be 1-2 pages each. Please be prepared to participate in a class discussion about these cases.

You might want to check out these descriptions from Oyez, but please remember, your analyses should be of the opinions in the packet, not of the Oyez summaries.

MCCOLLUM v. BOARD OF EDUCATION


ZORACH v. CLAUSON
