Excerpt from Proceedings of the National Convention to Secure the Religious Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, Held in Pittsburg, February 4, 5, 1874: With an Account of the Origin and Progress of the Movement
The conflict between these two opposing theories of government has been fought heretofore on some local and special issue. The assailants have singled out some one particular Christian usage or law, and have been met at their own point Of attack. The importance of the relation Of the fundamental law Of the nation to the constantly renewed controversy, did not at first appear. But with the repeated renewal of conflicts over Sabbath laws, the Bible in the schools, the oath, days Of fasting and thanksgiving, chaplaincies, etc., the appeal to the written Constitution - the Compact of agreement between the Citizens of the nation - was sure, sooner or later, to be made.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the proceedings of the Fifth National Convention for Amending the US Constitution (1874), convened to discuss the absence of reference to God and Christianity in the Constitution. The convention sought an amendment that would reflect the nation's Christian character and provide a legal basis for Christian laws and practices in the US. The convention aimed to resolve the inconsistency between the nation's Christian foundations and the secular nature of the Constitution. The discussions delve into the relationship between morality and government, the role of the Constitution in shaping national life, and the significance of acknowledging God's authority in civil governance. The book offers insights into the historical, social, and philosophical underpinnings of the movement to amend the Constitution, shedding light on the evolving understanding of Christianity's role in American society.
