Counter no, but extend yes and this extension goes to my arguments of interpretation. IMHO. Kevie pbase.com I always cut and paste. I never mis quote. The founding father finding the Church Of England a distasteful concept wrote the Constitution to prevent or disallow the establishment of a national religion. It is the contemporary history, pilgrims and why many came to America from England. And stating that no law should be written to prevent the exercise of any religion is a position on religions in general. It is a stance. Religious freedom is a self evident right of all men created equal by the creator. That is why it is specifically mentioned and first in the bill of rights. The gestation and birth of the Constitution began life with the conception of the Declaration. What you call the original Constitution was the process framework to define function power and implementation details The Bill of right was a clear restriction of the extent of powers. Amendments added more freedoms or extended freedoms to new groups or clarified or met new unforseen problems. tom watson tosiwmee
