SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The issue of the use of religious symbols by the State, the Government, the Municipalities and Courts has emerged as a practical constitutional problem during the last quarter of a century. Contradictory examples of us Supreme Court jurisprudence prove that this issue is among the constitutional 'hard cases'. The relatively recent appearance of the problem clearly indicates the ways in which American social conditions have changed and the transformation of us society's attitude to religion.
