Liberty University HIUS 221 Reading Comprehension Assessment 2Correct AnswersRead the following passage, then answer the questions belowBecause we hold it for a fundamental and undeniable truth,"that religion or the duty which we owe to ourCreator andthe manner of discharging it, can be directed only byreason and conviction, not by force or violence." TheReligionthenofeverymanmustbelefttotheconvictionandconscience of every man;and it is the right of every man toexercise it as these may dictate. This right is in its nature anunalienable right. It is unalienable, because the opinions ofmen, dependingonly on the evidence contemplated by theirown minds cannot follow the dictates of other men: It isunalienable also, because what is here a right towards men, isa duty towards the Creator. It is the duty of every man torender to the Creator such homageand such only as hebelieves to be acceptable to him.This duty is precedent, both in order of time and in degree ofobligation, to the claims of Civil Society. Before any man canbe considerd as a member of Civil Society, he must beconsidered as a subject of the Governour of the Universe: Andif a member ofCivil Society, do it with a saving of hisallegiance to the Universal Sovereign. We maintain thereforethat in matters of Religion, no man's right is abridged by theinstitution of Civil Society and that Religion is wholly exemptfrom its cognizance. Trueit is, that no other rule exists, bywhich any question which may divide a Society, can beultimately determined, but the will of the majority;but it isalso true that the majority may trespass on the rights of theminority. _JamesMadison’s“MemorialandRemonstranceagainstReligious Assessments”SelectedAnswer:Ihavereadtheabovepassage
