Kontroverzna priroda društvenih pokreta u SAD tokom 19. veka
Controversy of social movements in the United States during the 19th century Abstract

Summary/Abstract: Creation of political associations has been the part of American political culture since the colonial era. Constitutional protection of the right to assemble allowed the development of numerous social movements and groups. Although the First Amendment enabled citizens to politically organize and become political force, there are some contradictions that characterize civil activism during the 19th century. By observing these shortcomings in that period, the author seeks for the answer why the right to peaceful assembly didn’t result in greater influence of the social movements on the development of the American socio-political order. The paper is made up of material from the doctoral dissertation of the author, “Political and Legal Values of the United States in the Light of American Critical Thinking during 19th century”, which she defended at the Faculty of Political Science in Belgrade on September 5, 2018.
