comprehensive analysis of Leonard Levy's (1986) "The
Establishment Clause: Religion and the First Amendment." It is
pointed out that only in the middle decades of the 20th century
have the religious clauses of the U.S. Constitution been so
extensively interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court as the basis
for a religiously pluralistic society. The writer then goes into a
thorough explication of issues explored by Levy and posits that
Congress often acts beyond its inherent Constitutional
boundaries. Estabcla.wps religion politics, law const,

Book Review / The Establishment Clause : Similar to
Estabcla.wps (above)- this 5 page report discusses Leonard
Levy's book, "The Establishment Clause: Religion and the First
Amendment" which traces the sources of disestablishment since

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder : A 10 page paper reviewing
journal articles discussing the disorder. Obsessive-compulsive

but it is estimated to hold at least 2 million hostages.
Characterized by obsessive thoughts that drive the compulsion
to act in a self-prescribed manner, the manifestations of the
disorder are collectively seen as bizarre behavior. Drug therapy
has been found to aid in overall therapy efforts and is most
effective when combined with behavior therapy. OCD involves
the basal ganglia that are also connected with other movement
disorders, and it has been found to be genetically linked to
Tourette’s syndrome. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

The Ethical Significance Of Human Dignity In Veritatis
Splendor, Judaism And Confucius As Compared With The
United Nations Declaration On Human Rights : 5 pages in
length. As 1998 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights as proclaimed by the General
Assembly of the United Nations, there is significant question as
to whether or not the written manifesto addresses the issue of
human dignity as well as it was meant to do. Comparing the
ethical significance of such with Veritatis Splendor, Judaism
and Confucius, one can easily conclude that there are
considerable alterations in the overall application of its
importance. The writer discusses how the Declaration, while
offering great promise at its conception and even delivering
some of what was pledged, has failed quite miserably in
recognizing the ethical significance of human dignity throughout
the world when compared with Judaism, Confucius and
Veritatis Splendor. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
