Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom

Japanese: バージニア信教自由法 - バージニアしんきょうじゆうほう(英語表記)Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom
Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom
The first law in America to establish separation of church and state. It was passed by the Virginia State Assembly in January 1786. In Virginia, the Church of England was recognized as the official church throughout the colonial period, and after independence, the church was reorganized as the Protestant Episcopal Church and given a privileged status. The abolition of this system was demanded by non-conformist church members and rationalists, and in 1779, the Act of Religious Freedom, drafted by Thomas Jefferson, was submitted to the state assembly as part of legal reform.

アメリカにおいて初めて政教分離を定めた法律。1786年1月バージニア邦議会において可決された。バージニアでは植民地時代を通じて英国国教会(アングリカン・チャーチ)が公定教会として認められ,独立後は同教会が再編成されプロテスタント監督派教会となり,特権的地位を与えられた。このような制度の廃止は不服従派の教会員ならびに合理主義者たちによって要求されていたが,法制改革の一環として,1779年トマス・ジェファソンの起草になる〈信教自由法〉が邦議会に上程された。
