PS 1202 - AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The United States constitution plays an extraordinarily powerful role in American political life. The primary focus of this course is examination of the role of constitutional law in the American political process. We do this by analyzing constitutional interpretation by the United States Supreme Court and other federal courts in its major decisions. Students will learn how the court reached its decisions, who some significant justices have been, how the court considered contending arguments, and what the consequences of these decisions for our political system have been. Topics include the development of judicial review and close analysis of the way in which the court has addressed the two major structural features of the U.S. Constitution ’ separation of powers and federalism in an historic and contemporary setting. Specific issues in these areas are struggles over presidential and congressional power and national versus state power. We also address issues regarding civil liberties and civil rights. Students should find this course helpful in reaching a more sophisticated understanding of the major issues of constitutional law in American life, as well as providing a useful background to the cases and kinds of legal analysis they may pursue in further study in law school or other graduate study.

RELGST 0415 - RELIGION IN MODERN AMERICA
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The course examines the impact of religion as a moral, intellectual, and institutional force in America from 1865 to the present. Despite claims that the nation was becoming less religious, at least seven new religions were founded in the U.S. After the civil war, while millions of migrants from southern and eastern Europe brought large numbers of Catholics and Jews to challenge the dominance of protestants. We seek to understand how religions have both shaped and reflected economic, social, and cultural conditions in the united states. The course combines lecture with student discussion of religious conflicts and critical moments of cultural change, using primary sources and secondary interpreters. We also engage documentary films, slides, and local museums and historical sites. Major emphases include religious responses to intellectual, scientific, and economic change, including biblical criticism, evolutionary theory, immigration, urbanization, industrialization, Marxism, fascism, racism, and feminism. We conclude with questions about the present day: is the united states an exception for its high levels of religious behavior or is secularism on the rise?

In addition to the several historical processes and developments such as modernization, nation-building, Islamic fundamentalism and globalization, which have shaped the history of the Middle East in the last two centuries, our class discussions will also touch on the main theoretical perspectives that have stamped the studies of Islam and the Middle East. Here, concepts such as orientalism, defensive development, and modernity will constitute our main focus.
