Tax Exemptions Of American Church Property, Carl Zollmann
Tax Exemptions Of American Church Property, Carl Zollmann
Michigan Law Review
The exemption from taxation of public property in the various states of the Union rests on reason and presents no difficulty. If a state were to tax its own property or the property of the counties, cities, towns and villages created by it, the burden of the ultimate taxpayer would not be lightened in the least. Since such property is not only acquired but also maintained at public expense the money necessary for this purpose must in any case be ultimately paid by the owners of private property. An attempt to tax public property would only make the bookkeeping of …
Church Cemeteries In The American Law, Carl Zollmann
Church Cemeteries In The American Law, Carl Zollmann
Michigan Law Review
One of the most usual sights in any rural community in the United States is a church edifice with a cemetery in the immediate neighborhood. This condition of affairs, where a church society antedates the municipal corporation within whose limits it exists, can even occasionally be found in populous cities. Such cases, however, are fast disappearing. The demands of commerce and the doctrines of modern sanitation are too strong to be resisted. When a cemetery situated in the heart of a city is not abandoned on account of the monetary inducements held out by commercial interests, the law-making power of …
Nature Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollman
Nature Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollman
Michigan Law Review
From the earliest period of our history it has been recognized that corporate existence and capacity is desirable if not indispensable in order to carry on the affairs of the various church societies in the most efficient manner. Accordingly various forms of religious corporations have been developed. Of these the earliest, namely the territorial parish and the corporation sole, grew out of the then existing union of church and state. They were public municipal corporations and passed away with the system which had given them birth. Their place was taken by other church corporations of which there are three principal …
Powers Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollmann
Powers Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollmann
Michigan Law Review
Religious corporations in the United States have assumed various shapes. The original two forms, (corporation sole and territorial parish) being unsuited to our conditions, have completely passed away. In their stead have grown up four other classes, the aggregate corporation, the trustee corporation, the modern form of the corporation sole, and the Roman Catholic Church in our insular possessions. These four kinds of corporations, however diverse they may be in their history and otherwise, have a number of important qualities in common. None of them are ecclesiastical corporations in the European sense of the word. All of them owe their …
Classes Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollmann
Classes Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollmann
Michigan Law Review
The right of churches to incorporate has been universally conceded in the United States, except in Virginia and West Virginia, under whose constitutions the legislature is forbidden to grant any "charter of incorporation" to "any church or 'religious denomination."' Nor is such concession a recent one. Churches have exercised corporate rights from. the earliest period of the American law. The forms under which this has been done, however, have been quite dissimilar. Five distinct classes of corporations are discernible, the first of which is entirely extinct, the second survives only in an altered form, the third is limited in area, …
The Law In The United States In Its Relation To Religion, Edwin C. Goddard
The Law In The United States In Its Relation To Religion, Edwin C. Goddard
Michigan Law Review
Man is a religious being. To him, everywhere and always, religion and religious institutions have been and, will be of prime concern. He is also a social being. As such he has always found it necessary to live in an organized society, under some form of government. Man never has lived to himself alone. Government is not an invention, a necessary evil, to which men submit. On the contrary, from the most primitive beginnings it has been man's natural though imperfect instrument for controlling and developing the social estate so essential to his very existence. And universally this government has …
The Mosaic Law, Clarence A. Lightner
The Mosaic Law, Clarence A. Lightner
Michigan Law Review
In recent years much has been learned of the civilization, which developed in early times in Mesopotamia. In Babylon, laws appropriate to a vast and wealthy agricultural nation, which was engaged, also, largely in commerce, had been developed many centuries before the authentic history of other peoples begins. This civilization was Semitic. A great light, where formerly but dim reflections had been seen, was thrown upon this jurisprudence by the discovery, in 1901, of the codification of the laws of Babylonia, which was promulgated by King Hammurabi about 2350 B. C. Migration from Babylonia occurred from time to time, and …

Christian Science And Religious Liberty, Edward W. Dickey
Christian Science And Religious Liberty, Edward W. Dickey
Michigan Law Review
Prominent among the expressions of religious thought in this country in recent years is that of Christian Science. Its teaching in regard to the healing of disease without any material agencies has called forth many comments on the question of religious liberty. As it has attracted to it a large and ever increasing number of intelligent and law-abiding citizens, all over the country, and as there have been several efforts to partially or totally restrict its practice as a means of healing, by proscriptive legislation, we deem it proper to set forth, in a general way, some of the questions, …
Marriage And Divorce In State And Church, Benjamin Brewster
Marriage And Divorce In State And Church, Benjamin Brewster
Michigan Law Review
When, in 1831, the French philosopher De Tocqueville visited America, he was impressed with the stability of the marriage relation. In his great work, "Democracy in America," he thus sums up the results of his observations: "There is certainly no country in the world where the tie of marriage is so much respected as in America, or where conjugal happiness is more highly or worthily appreciated." And this acute and discerning reasoner makes a further reflection, from his stand-point as one interested in the maintenance of order and stability in the state: "Agitated by the tumultuous passions which frequently disturb …
Ecclsiastical Jurisdiction In England, Edwin Maxley
Ecclsiastical Jurisdiction In England, Edwin Maxley
Michigan Law Review
Previous to the invasion of William the Conqueror the ecclesiastical jurisdiction in England was not at all clearly defined. Under the protection, and, as protection implies jurisdiction, under the jurisdiction of the bishops were the following: sacred persons and sacred things. Among the former were included men in orders, monks and nuns; and among the latter: churches and church-yards, books and furniture of churches, sacraments, ecclesiastical and marital rituals. So far as can be found, there were not at that time any separate ecclesiastical courts. The bishops, with the assistance of archdeacons and deans, exercised their ecclesiastical jurisdiction through the …
