This article summarizes the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a legal entity. It recounts the "first disestablishment" in the 1830s and describes how it led to butter legal battles throughout the next century. It discusses legal personality as a key point of conflict between the Latter-day Saints and American society rather than emphasizing polygamy and theocracy.
