Answer:

The English Bill of Rights, which was passed in 1689, included the idea that no one in Virginia should be forced to attend a certain church or pay taxes to support a certain church. This means that people had the freedom to practice their own religion and not be forced to follow the religion of the government. They also couldn't be forced to pay for a religion they don't believe in. It is also a protection of the freedom of religion, this idea played a role in shaping the concept of religious freedom in America, particularly in the Virginia colony.
