Liberty University HIUS 221 Reading Comprehension Assessment 2
Correct Answers
Read the following passage, then answer the questions below
Because we hold it for a fundamental and undeniable truth,
"that religion or the duty which we owe to our Creator and
the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by
reason and conviction, not by force or violence." The
Religion
then of every man must be left to the conviction and
conscience of every man; and it is the right of every man to
exercise it as these may dictate. This right is in its nature an
unalienable right. It is unalienable, because the opinions of
men, depending only on the evidence contemplated by their
own minds cannot follow the dictates of other men: It is
unalienable also, because what is here a right towards men, is
a duty towards the Creator. It is the duty of every man to
render to the Creator such homage and such only as he
believes to be acceptable to him.
This duty is precedent, both in order of time and in degree of
obligation, to the claims of Civil Society. Before any man can
be considerd as a member of Civil Society, he must be
considered as a subject of the Governour of the Universe: And
if a member of Civil Society, do it with a saving of his
allegiance to the Universal Sovereign. We maintain therefore
that in matters of Religion, no man's right is abridged by the
institution of Civil Society and that Religion is wholly exempt
from its cognizance. True it is, that no other rule exists, by
which any question which may divide a Society, can be
ultimately determined, but the will of the majority; but it is
also true that the majority may trespass on the rights of the
minority. _James Madison’s “Memorial and Remonstrance
against Religious Assessments”
