However, the concept is derived from the First Amendment, which states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Referred to as the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. The idea of a "wall of separation between church and state" was articulated by Thomas Jefferson in an 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association, in which he explained his understanding of the First Amendment's religious clauses. This metaphor has since been used to describe the intended distance between government institutions and religious institutions. ChatGPT |
