When speaking of the US Constitution, it should be noted that the term of "separation of Church and State" appears nowhere in the Constitution. What the US Constitution prevents is the government from establishing a State sponsored religion or make no laws regarding the establishment of religion nor prevent the practice of a peoples religion. As a comparison at the time of the US Constitution, Great Britain's state religion was the Anglican Church.

How did the Russia's ties with Byzantine empire influence the relationship between church and state?

Russia's ties with the Byzantine Empire significantly shaped the relationship between church and state by establishing the Orthodox Church as a central authority in governance. Following the Christianization of Kievan Rus' in 988, the church adopted Byzantine practices, reinforcing the idea of the emperor's divine right to rule. This led to a symbiotic relationship where the church provided legitimacy to the state, while the state supported and protected the church, intertwining their roles in society and governance. Consequently, the Orthodox Church became a powerful institution that influenced political decisions and cultural identity in Russia.
