An Interesting Fact
Separation Of Church and State

Separation Of Church and State
Some of the laws and customs of
Maryland differentiate this state from
any other state in the Union. In one
respect, at least, Maryland is not only
unique among the states of the Union,
but perhaps among the nations of the
world, in that no clergyman may sit
in either branch of the legislature.
This provision of our constitution is
visible reminder of the time when
Lord Baltimore, the Founder, set
about to effect the separation of the
functions of the Church and those of
the State. It's overt beginning may be
traced to the second General Assem-
bly,, held in the spring, 1888, when all
freemen "were summoned to appear
by virtue of writes, which included
three Jesuit priests of the province,
who asked to be excused on account
of sickness. This, perhaps, was not
the real reason for their absence, but
rather because they were then seeking
exemption from taxation, civil and
military service and their presence in
the Assembly might call undue at
tention to their desired privileges. 1t
was shortly after this that there
sprang up in the colony objections to
having clergy taking seats in the
Assembly, and it appears to have been
the custom to enforce this objection.
However, one hundred and thirty
eight years after the above incident,
the provision that no ecclesiastic may
sit in the Legislature of Maryland
was embodied in the Constitution of
1776.
AS a further result of the pioneer
struggle for freedom of conscience
and the separation of Church and
