| 三、教學目標 Objectives |
| 新的學期，將會以上學期所建立的基本瞭解，以及所學到的對於案例分析、論述的研究方式，來進行這一學期的課程學習。這學期將完全著重在個人權利保護，從一開始的平等保護的討論，將研析美國種族歧視、優惠性差別待遇等歷史背景及發展過程，審視大法官們如何處理相關議題。再者，課程將介紹何謂言論自由，論述言論自由的重要性、以及保障言論自由的理論，此外，更將審視美國在言論自由保護上豐富的憲法案例，瞭解法院如何針對不同的言論種類，建構出不同的審查標準與審查密度。再者，將介紹美國憲法上宗教自由的相關案例，講解禁止確立宗教條款以及宗教行使自由條款之發展以及大法官相關之論述。憲法的瞭解，必須從它的制定、在案例中的適用、以及隨著時代不同所反映出不同的價值觀，觀看出這部活的憲法是如何與人民生活、社會發展息息相關。希望同學可以透過這樣研究習慣的養成，除了對於美國憲法除了有更完整的認識外，也能有更精確的掌握。 |
| Following the previous semester, we will continue to study the equal protection clause under the U.S. constitutional law, especially focusing on the affirmative action. And then, this course will further focus on the First Amendment. We will examine freedom of speech, including issues that arise from attempts to prohibit or regulate incitement to violence, fighting words, defamation, racist speech, obscenity, pornography, offensive expression, and commercial speech. We also will discuss special problems that are posed by prior restraints on expression, by the regulation of symbolic acts of communication, and by limitations on the use of such public areas as parks and streets. The remainder of the course will focus on the religion clauses of the First Amendment, including public sponsorship of Christmas displays and Ten Commandments displays, governmental funding programs that include private religious schools, and the application of drug laws to the sacramental use of peyote by Native Americans. |
| 四、課程內容 Course Description |
●整體敘述 Overall Description
新的一學期，我們將繼續美國憲法暨案例的介紹，尤以憲法基本權為本學期討論的重點。以平等原則適用為例，將會進入種族歧視、性別歧視等議題，尤其在美國種族多樣化下，相關理論更是為人所熱道；再者，言論自由的案例及其論理，甚至為我國大法官在解釋上多有採用。當然，還有關於宗教自由、集會結社自由等，也會在時間許可的情況下，與同學一同探索。
在課程進行上，仍將以案例介紹與討論為主。將要求學生進行分組，以負責案例的報告，包括案例的事實背景、爭點所在、正反的論述以及法院最後的裁判。透過這樣的學習，能了解到美國憲法的實際運用。再者，課程將會訓練同學以比較法的方式，審視我國憲法上的相關問題與爭議。除此之外，鑒於英美法的學習，本課程將要求與課學生針對分組報告之案例，繳交以英文寫作之案例摘要，以供成績評量。最後並將於學期末舉行期末考，以檢視學生學習之成果。
