No other independent enlightenment in the world allows individual independence for the United States of America. American courts, especially the Supreme Court, have improved a series of legal policies that comprehensively protect all types of appearance power. When it comes to assessing the level to which people take advantage of the opportunity to convey their beliefs, many members of the culture may be responsible for abusing the boundaries of the First Amendment by openly offending others through racism or obscenity (Karen O'Connor and Larry J. Saturday 2006). America is what it is because of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States of America. Ratification of the Constitution ensured that religious dissimilarity would continue to develop in the United States. America has accentuated a different nature towards the power of the word throughout history. The United States is a spiritually and culturally diverse nation and may be the most religiously diverse state in the world. It seems difficult for anyone in the United States to see that the church-led persecutor state could ever rear its ugly head again. Before the ratification of the Bill of Rights, several states, such as Massachusetts, were still prosecuting those of other faiths. Therefore, they drive those who have experienced discrimination to flee to Rhode Island. In 1791, the first ten amendments were ratified, which were called the Bill of Rights (Karen O'Connor & Larry J. Sabato 2006). The United States Constitution protects the United States legal system in commercial statute. This old Constitution still has power in today's world. The Constitution has a preliminary introduction, seven articles and twenty-seven amendments. ...... middle of paper ...... accused Jefferson of being an atheist. This helps demonstrate that although all signers of the Constitution believed that religious freedom was essential to the rights of the individual, some disagreed about what role, if any, the Church should play in government. Even former political allies Jefferson and Adams sharply disagreed on this notion and this fueled their rivalry that continued throughout both of their presidencies and the historic Supreme Court case of Marbury v. Madison (Alexander, 2004). Today, if our government needs proof that the separation of church and state works to ensure freedom of religion, it need only look to the glut of churches, temples, and shrines that exist in cities and towns across the United States. Only a nonreligious government, separate from religion, could allow such dissimilarity.
