It is my charge to provide for religious free exercise for . Soldiers and their families the . Constitution is the very charter for me to do my Job. William Gladstone a British prime minister wrote in 1878, the american Onmi Luzion is the most wonderful work Ever struck off at a Given Lime by the brain and purpose of How can j Best befriend the highest Law of our land the , Constitution this Brief writing is my attempt. To me the Constitution is a glorious Standard founded in the Wisdom of god. What an Opportunity for Cele bration during this Bicentennial commemoration of the Constitution of the United Stales of America article 6, clause 3 concludes with this statement. No religious test shall Ever be required to a qualification to any office or Public Trust under the United does this mean the Cramers of the Constitution were nol religious no not at All. It Means that the Cramers of the Constitution did not want one religious group imposing upon stale leaders or anyone their particular religious views. Two sentences later and the concluding sentence in the Constitution slates done in convention. In the year of our lord ,." this to my satisfaction shows that they were religious people and recognized the need for the hand of Providence. The framers of the Constitution wanted the hand of Providence upon their work and its future blessings of Liberty yes religious Liberty for themselves Ana their posterity. They did not want one religious group s views of the hand of Providence upon their work or its future. Ben Franklin proposed that each session of the constitutional convention begin with a prayer.
