 abstract = {Jefferson and madison were well aware that the battle for the Virginia Statute for Establishing Religious Freedom and the First Amendment did not end the battle for religious liberty in America. Since the First Amendment applied only to federal action, it had limited direct application in the nineteenth century, an era of relatively narrow federal regulation and a relatively small federal government. While all of the states claimed to protect freedom of conscience in their own way, how they applied that right often fell far short of the Jeffersonian vision, especially in the area of separation of church and state.},
