  • Summary

    Religious believers organized a strong peace movement in the 1920s and 1930s prior to the rise of fascism in Europe. They challenged state programs requiring university students to participate in the Reserve Officers Training, and attempted to obtain citizenship in the face of a statutory requirement that cprospective citizens indicate their willingness to serve in the armed forces. In contrast to its decisions dealing with political dissent, the Hughes Court did little to accommodate this form of religious dissent.
