Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes the events surrounding Senator Reed Smoot's bid for re-election in 1914 against the backdrop of his controversial status as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It examines the prickly relationship between the U.S. Senate and the Mormon Church through the lens of Smoot's investigation by a special Senate committee and his subsequent defense on the Senate floor. The author presents a nuanced perspective on the constitutional issues raised by Smoot's case, balancing the First Amendment rights of religious freedom against the Senate's authority to police its membership. The book sheds light on the complex interplay between religion, politics, and the law, and invites readers to ponder the limits of religious accommodation in a secular society.
