Summary "The Constitutional Amendment: or, The Sunday, the Sabbath, the Change, and…." is a religious discussion text likely written in the late 19th century. The work features a debate primarily between W. H. Littlejohn, a Seventh-Day Adventist, and the editor of the Christian Statesman, addressing the contentious issue of Sabbath observance and the proposed amendments to the U.S. Constitution aimed at promoting the recognition of Sunday as a day of rest. This dialogue situates itself within a broader cultural and religious conflict regarding the interpretation of biblical laws and the implications of their enforcement in a modern, pluralistic society. The opening of the book sets the stage for an intense discourse centered on the Sabbath question, indicating that public sentiment is heating up around the observance of religious days, particularly Sunday versus Saturday. Littlejohn presents his viewpoint emphasizing the biblical basis for the Sabbath as the seventh day, stressing that advocating for Sunday to be enshrined in law could infringe on religious liberties. The initial articles lay the groundwork for an exploration of varying beliefs regarding the Sabbath's significance, the arguments for change, and the repercussions of enforcing religious observance through legal means, highlighting the passionate divides forming among the involved parties.
