Answer» Answer: In Everson v. Board of Education (1947), Justice Hugo L. Black and some of his colleagues on the SUPREME Court traced the origins of the First AMENDMENT to a bill establishing religious freedom that Jefferson drafted and introduced in the Virginia General Assembly in 1779. The bill was not PASSED until 1786, when, through the efforts of James Madison, it was adopted as the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. The statute, which had three main sections, explained why compulsory religion requirements were wrong, stated that men were free to express their opinions on religion and choose how or if to worship without having their rights as citizens diminished, and explained how the right of freedom of religion was a natural right of mankind.
