Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maryland Doctrine of Exclusion (1638)
I, too, have spent some time without finding a reliable source for this doctrine. I also spent some time going through the acts of the Maryland general Assembly in 1638 (which at that time comprised "the governor and council, and a general assembly of all freemen" http://msa.maryland.gov/msa/mdmanual/06hse/html/hsef.html). I did not find any such act. I did find two acts which dealt with liberties of free Christians, indentured servants and slaves but neither contain language as in the article. http://aomol.msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/000001/html/am1--41.html An Act for the liberties of the people and http://aomol.msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/000001/html/am1--80.html An Act Limiting the times of Servants. I'm leaning towards failing  or hoax. Special:Contributions/24.151.10.165|24.151.10.165
