Question

In Jefferson’s mind, what is the relationship between freedom of religion and the civil rights of individuals?

Answer 1

Answer:

They are inseparable.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson was one of the most eminent men of an exceptionally eminent generation. He was a magnanimous, articulate, vigorous and constant friend. He was also a complete scientist, farmer and architect.

He was a great advocate of independence, argued that the British Parliament had no right to rule the colonies, claiming they were independent from their founding and was the author of the declaration of independence.

Jefferson was a deist, common to the literate men of his day, but he was a great advocate of religious freedom, because he believed that defending religious freedom was the same as defending the civil rights of individuals, because religious liberty and the rights of the individual were free. Civil rights were two inseparable concepts.

Answer 2

They are inseparable.
