Answer 2

Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom

Step-by-step explanation:

Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom was a statute written by Thomas Jefferson in 1777 and passed by the Virginia state in 1786 establishing the principle of separation of church and state. It helped set a precedent for a right later given to Americans in The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights: the right to practice the religion one desire or not to practice any religion at all, which also prevents the government from creating a nationally recognized religion (separation of church and state).
