Answer:

Freedom of worship and the right to believe in any religion was important in the colonies of the 18th century. Let´s remember that many Englishmen who had emigrated to the New World faced religious persecution at home, or they had decided to emigrate because they wanted to live in communities according to their own principles, something that was not possible then in England for political and religious reasons.

Besides, the separation of church and state was an important idea of Enlightenment, an idea dear to the Founding Fathers. Freedom of worship seemed to them as another human freedom to be protected and cared about. And this is as important today as it was 250 years ago; there are large Muslim communitities in the USA today. Isn´t it relevant that they enjoy the right to practice their religion? Of course it is.

3. What was the proclamation of 1763? Why were the colonists opposed to it?​
choli [55]

Answer:

The Proclamation of 1763 was an act of British government, according to which it was forbidden for the colonists to settle west of the Appalachian mountains, which they believed it was unjustly, as they fought in the French and Indian war and believed they should be allowed certain benefits, including the possibility to settle new territories.

Explanation:

This Proclamation was brought so that colonists would not enter the conflicts with the Natives.

On the other side, colonists believed that British government is not appreciating enough all the things that they have done.

It was one of the disputes that eventually led to Revolution.
