Question

What impact did many state constitutions have on the separation of church and state affairs?



Churches controlled more affairs of the state.

States could not support an established church.

Many states continued to combine church and state.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is B because if I'm not mistaken, by the time all states ( I think Rhode Island was neutral) had a specific religion and once this event took place some states stopped paying or idolizing(or maintining, paying the church members) a certain religion that represented their states ,and diversity came to place.

Answer 2

Is the appointment of Chaplains to the two Houses of Congress consistent with the Constitution, and with the pure principle of religious freedom? In strictness the answer on both points must be in the negative. The Constitution of the U. S. forbids everything like an establishment of a national religion. The law appointing Chaplains establishes a religious worship for the national representatives, to be performed by Ministers of religion, elected by a majority of them, and these are to be paid out of the national taxes. Does this not involve the principle of a national establishment, applicable to a provision for a religious worship for the Constituent as well as of the representative Body, approved by the majority, and conducted by Ministers of religion paid by the entire nation?
