Seperation of Church and State
The First Amendment to the Constitution states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The meaning of this amendment has been hotly debated over the years. The prevailing view was articulated by Thomas Jefferson when he stated that this establishes a "wall of separation" between government and religion.
