Question

Who was Nit protected by Maryland's 1649 Act of Toleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Non-christians were not protected by Maryland's 1649 Act of Toleration.

Explanation:

The Maryland Act of Toleration, which came into force in 1649, was one of the first laws that explicitly tolerated Christian denominations other than the Church of England. It is considered the forerunner of the 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Because of the multitude of Christian confessions that were already to be found in the American colonies in the 17th century, such a tolerance policy was inevitable. It was proposed by Cecilius Calvert, the Lord Proprietor of the colony. In response it, there was a rebellion in the province, by which Puritans seized power in Maryland. It was not until 1657 that Calvert was reinstated and the Act of Toleration of 1649 was finally approved.
