Abstract
The experience of the Jehovah's Witnesses, a religious minority, is explored within two legal cultures—the United States and Nazi Germany—between the years of 1928–1945. The interplay of political regimes (constitutionalism and dictatorship) with the religious doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses is discussed. This historicalcomparison illustrates that the intersection of the rule of law and religion is not just about social control but also about social integration. Provided an appropriatearena within which to settle conflicts, religiously dissident minorities can enter into negotiation that can result in adjustments and moderation rather than polarization and radicalization.
