Question

Which of the following was NOT part of the foundation of Jefferson’s position on the relationship between church and state?

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

When the Founding Fathers of America outlined the Constitution for the US, they laid in the document in the First Amendment that the church and state will function separately.

Before the colonies became independent, they were under the control of the Church of England. Understanding the importance of separate functioning of the Church and a state, they outlined that in the First Amendment- the Establishment Clause and the Free Excerise Clause. In which Jefferson meant to make separation between an individual's right of conscience and support the church in which they may not believe.

Therefore, the separation which was NOT a part of the foundation of Jefferson's position on the relationship between church and state is devout's personal faith in Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Bible.

Thus option B is correct.
