To Defend the Constitution: Religion, Conscientious Objection, Naturalization, and the Supreme Court

by Ronald B. Flowers

People have been denied citizenship in America for many reasons. Would it surprise you to learn that four of those people were denied because they were conscientious objectors to war? The government believed that because they were not willing to bear arms in defense of the country, they were not attached to the principles of the Constitution, as required by naturalization law.
