The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, written by George Mason, guaranteed freedom of religion to all Virginians and later served as the inspiration for the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. It was adopted in 1786 and is considered a landmark in the history of religious freedom in America.
The Bill of Rights, written by James Madison, was influenced by the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom in many ways. The first ten amendments of the Bill of Rights are similar to the Declaration of Rights, written by George Mason. For example, Article 8 of the Virginia Declaration of Rights keeps people from "being deprived of his liberty except by the law of the land", which later developed into part of the federal Bill of Rights. There are also sections of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, written by Thomas Jefferson, that can compare to the Bill of Rights. The five basic freedoms, found in the first amendment, are still prevalent in our communities and governments today. Separation of church and state is still an issue. People everywhere still adament that they have religious freedom.
