In this video we look at the documents that come from the tumultuous Revolutionary Era. Educators from noted American universities share their insights on the State Constitutions (1776-1781) . The Second Continental Congress urged all the states to draft new constitutions, replacing their British royal charters. The state constitutions, which precede the United States Constitution, bear remarkable similarities, even though the various states are quite different in population, geography, and economics. The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (1786) . A basic tenant of American freedom is the right to worship as we please. Thomas Jefferson, then governor of Virginia, wrote this document, which establishes the separation of church and state.
