Franklin, Jefferson, & Madison on Religion and the State

The product of twenty years of careful research in the National Archives, Library of Congress, and other libraries, this book presents views on a national theme, "Religion and the State." The ideas of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison on Church-State issues, as well as their personal religious views, reflect the roots of religion in America. The Founders' ideas on the "free exercise of religion" illuminate their original intent regarding our First Amendment rights.
