message: The constitutional prohibition of religious tests for office in Article VI.
The only mention of religion in the Constitution of the United States prior to the adoption of the First Amendment was the "no religious test" provision of Article VI. The significance of this often-forgotten provision cannot be exaggerated. At the time of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, most of the Colonies still had religious establishments or religious tests for office. It was unimaginable to many Americans that non-Protestants — Catholics, Jews, atheists and others — could be trusted with public office.
    "No religious test" proposed at the Constitutional Convention. One aspect of religious liberty was inserted into the Constitution during its framing in Philadelphia.
        The role of Charles Pinckney. At the Constitutional Convention, Charles Pinckney (1757-1824), a delegate from South Carolina, proposed that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." Though he came from a state that had established the Protestant faith as the state religion, Pinckney represented the new spirit of religious liberty exemplified in the Enlightenment thinking of Jefferson.
        A tool for oppression outlawed. Remarkably, the "no religious test" provision passed with little dissent. For the first time in history, a nation had formally abolished one of the most powerful tools of the state for oppressing religious minorities.
  This is taken from the First Amendment Center History of Religious Liberty in America" by Charles C Haynes senior scholar  This oversight of Charles contribution needs to be added to the article.  97.85.168.22 (talk) 12:12, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The disambiguation page on Charles Pinckney gives the family relationship between Charles Pinckney (governor) and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney as second cousins, but here they are listed as first cousins once removed. Which is correct?
