John Compton offers a surprising revision of this familiar narrative, showing that nineteenth-century evangelical Protestants, not New Deal reformers, paved the way for the most important constitutional developments of the twentieth century. Following the great religious revivals of the early 1800's, American evangelicals embarked on a crusade to eradicate immorality from national life by destroying the property that made it possible. Their cause represented a direct challenge to founding-era legal protections of sinful practices such as slavery, lottery gambling, and buying and selling liquor. Although evangelicals urged the judiciary to bend the rules of constitutional adjudication on behalf of moral reform, antebellum judges usually resisted their overtures. But after the Civil War, American jurists increasingly acquiesced in the destruction of property on moral grounds. In the early twentieth century, Oliver Wendell Holmes and other critics of laissez-faire constitutionalism used the judiciary's acceptance of evangelical moral values to demonstrate that conceptions of property rights and federalism were fluid, socially constructed, and subject to modification by democratic majorities. The result was a progressive constitutional regime--rooted in evangelical Protestantism--that would hold sway for the rest of the twentieth century. 606 $aReligion and law$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aEvangelicalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aConstitutional law$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aChurch and state$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReligion and law$xHistory. 615 0$aEvangelicalism$xHistory 615 0$aConstitutional law$xHistory. 615 0$aChurch and state$xHistory. 676 $a342.7302/9 700 $aCompton$b John W.$f1977-$01042827 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463955903321 996 $aThe evangelical origins of the living constitution$92467347 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01409nam 2200361Ia 450 001 996389259203316 005 20221108074428.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000095659 035 $a(EEBO)2248501219 035 $a(OCoLC)08164089 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000095659 100 $a19820217d1641 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 14$aThe true euangelical temper$b[electronic resource] $ewherein divinity and ecclesiastical history are interwoven, and mixed, both to the profit and delight of the Christian reader, and moderately, and soberly fitted to the present grand concernments of this state, and church /$fpreached in three sermons at St. Martins in the Strand ... by Jo.
