HRES 1415 United States House · 119th Congress

Celebrating the country's history of church-state separation and recognizing the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

This resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of the United States by reaffirming the nation's historical commitment to separating church and state. It highlights key constitutional principles, such as the First Amendment and the prohibition of religious tests for public office, which protect individual religious freedom and prevent government endorsement of specific beliefs. The document cites historical figures like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison to underscore the importance of maintaining a secular government that safeguards religious pluralism. Ultimately, the measure serves as a formal statement of values rather than a law that changes existing policies or imposes new requirements.
