Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book succinctly examines the controversial writings within the "Fraternity Lecture" series of the 1860s, in which a group of clergymen sought to use their platforms to shape constitutional law. The author focuses on one particular lecture delivered by Rev. H. M. Dexter and the ensuing debate he sparked with prominent lawyer Joel Parker, providing historical context and analysis of the arguments presented by both parties. Through an examination of the foundational rules of law and constitutional interpretation, the author ultimately asserts the superiority of legal reasoning over self-proclaimed "common sense," even when interpreting sacred texts like constitutions and the Bible. The author's treatment of this incident sheds light on the continuing tension between religious and secular authority in America, and the broader debate over the proper role of religious leaders in political discourse.
