Left undiscussed is the long period between the ratification of the Constitution and the 1947 Supreme Court ruling in \u003cem\u003eEverson v. Board of Education, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003ewhich mandated that the Establishment Clause applied to state and local governments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSteven Green illuminates this neglected period, arguing that during the 19th century there was a second disestablishment. By the early 1800s, formal political disestablishment was the rule at the national level, and almost universal among the states. Yet the United States remained a Christian\u003cbr\u003enation, and Protestant beliefs and values dominated American culture and institutions. Evangelical Protestantism rose to cultural dominance through moral reform societies and behavioral laws that were undergirded by a maxim that Christianity formed part of the law. Simultaneously, law became\u003cbr\u003esecularized, religious pluralism increased, and the Protestant-oriented public education system was transformed. This latter impulse set the stage for the constitutional disestablishment of the twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Second Disestablishment \u003c\/em\u003eexamines competing ideologies: of evangelical Protestants who sought to create a Christian nation, and of those who advocated broader notions of separation of church and state. Green shows that the second disestablishment is the missing link between the Establishment\u003cbr\u003eClause and the modern Supreme Court's church-state decisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195399677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteven K.
