Question

the many churches in the West were failing to condemn illegal behavior

Western towns were often remote and far from one another

Answer 1

"the many churches in the West were failing to condemn illegal behavior"

Explanation: Law enforcement was hard because towns sprang up faster than governments, settlers were often independent and resistant to authority, and settlements were isolated. The presence or failure of churches to condemn crime was not a main reason for weak law enforcement.
