| Summary: | The Baptists' influential role in establishment clause jurisprudence was woven through the opinions in the landmark Everson case thanks to Baptist-raised justices Hugo Black and Wiley B. Rutledge. In this version of constitutional history, Madison worked with the Baptists and others to eliminate religious taxation in Virginia, and then pledged to his Baptist constituents that he would fight for religious liberty in Congress, which led to the Establishment Clause. Jefferson then proclaimed that this clause had erected a “wall of separation between church and state” in a letter to the Danbury Baptists. |
