Ryden and Jeffrey J. Polet1st ed.Santa Barbara :ABC-CLIO,2022.London :Bloomsbury Publishing (UK),2023.1 online resource (xii, 284 pages)Documents Decoded1-61069-948-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Church and state in colonial America -- Constitutional history of church-state relations -- Civil religion and religious expression in the public square -- Public aid to religious institutions and organizations -- The challenge of religious liberty -- Conclusion -- Timeline of events.This thoroughly annotated document collection gives students and researchers an authoritative source for understanding the evolving political and legal relationship between church and state from colonial times to the present day. The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States declares that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The Establishment Clause, meanwhile, declares a position of neutrality not only between differing religions, but between religious and nonreligious beliefs. The terms of the Free Exercise Clause, however, provide special protections to religious belief and practice. Thus the provisions of the two clauses can clash. In fact, differing political and legal interpretations of these clauses have resulted in some of the most hard-fought and contentious philosophical battles in American history. This book provides readers with convenient access to pertinent documents and court cases that enables a deeper understanding of the past and current balance between church and state and its political implications in the 21st century. The expert commentary that accompanies these key documents serves to elucidate how interpretation of the U.S. Constitution affects issues such as whether public funds or other public support should go to religious-based schools or hospitals; how to safeguard individuals' rights to religious expression while also considering how individuals should not be forced to participate in mandatory religious expressions in public institutions; and how the language regarding "separation of church and state" came about, when this phrase does not appear anywhere in the Constitution.Documents Decoded.Politics & International RelationsPolitics & governmentbicsscPolitics & International Relations.Politics & government322/.10973Ryden David K.1096710Polet Jeffrey J.UkLoBPUkLoBPBOOK9910796202403321Church and state3819526UNINA02618nam 2200709 450 991081896600332120221212044831.01-4426-9695-81-4426-9694-X10.3138/9781442696945(CKB)2550000000100917(OCoLC)794620020(CaPaEBR)ebrary10560486(SSID)ssj0000658031(PQKBManifestationID)11456200(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000658031(PQKBWorkID)10681366(PQKB)11543123(CEL)438913(CaBNVSL)slc00228887(MiAaPQ)EBC3280077(MiAaPQ)EBC4672903(DE-B1597)483227(OCoLC)1004871837(DE-B1597)9781442696945(Au-PeEL)EBL4672903(CaPaEBR)ebr11258554(MdBmJHUP)musev2_105798(EXLCZ)99255000000010091720160926h20122012 uy 0engurcn||||||a||txtccrThe politics of eloquence David Hume's polite rhetoric /Marc HanveltToronto, [Ontario] ;Buffalo, [New York] ;London, [England] :University of Toronto Press,2012.©20121 online resource (228 p.)1-4426-4379-X Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Hume's Political Project -- Hume on Rhetoric and Persuasion -- Hume's Conception of Politeness -- Polite in His own Way (Hume and the Scots) -- Resuscitating the Passionate Eloquence of the Ancients -- Rhetoric and the Public Sphere -- Toward a Politics of Eloquence.Drawing on Hume's philosophical, historical, and popular writings, The Politics of Eloquence presents an understanding of rhetoric that can be properly ascribed to this important thinker, an understanding hitherto overlooked in the scholarly literature.RhetoricPolitical aspectsPolitical oratoryPersuasion (Rhetoric)Political aspectsEloquenceCourtesyRhetoricPolitical aspects.Political oratory.Persuasion (Rhetoric)Political aspects.Eloquence.Courtesy.320.01/4Hanvelt Marc1698301MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818966003321The politics of eloquence4079662UNINA
