That the impious presumption of legislators and rulers, civil as well as ecclesiastical, who, being themselves but fallible and

uninspired men have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavouring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world and through all time; Which of the following best states the explicit meaning of this excerpt from Jefferson’s Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom? Many false religions have been established under true and infallible principles. Civil legislators tend to impose their opinions and modes of thinking upon others. Ecclesiastical rulers are uninspired men who assume dominion over the faith of others. Men are only human and fallible themselves and cannot claim their opinions to be divine and infallible.

Answer:

Men are only human and fallible themselves and cannot claim their opinions to be divine and infallible.

Explanation:

This is the sentence that best states the meaning of this excerpt from Jefferson’s <em>Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom</em>. In this excerpt, Jefferson criticizes the rulers and legislators, both civil and ecclesiastical, who believe themselves to be the ultimate authority on opinion. He argues that humans are fallible beings, and that it is irresponsible and illogical to think of themselves as the only ones with the true and infallible way of thinking. Therefore, since they cannot have the full "truth" on these matters, they should not try to impose their views on others.
