Read "Virginia Declaration of Rights" and "Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom"

Write a 600-word essay that answers the following questions: "Why is religious freedom so important in the United States? How did the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom change Virginia society? Do you see examples of how religious freedom has been threatened today?"

All sources should be referenced using proper MLA format.

It should have a clear structure. Write an introductory paragraph with a strong thesis statement, one or two body paragraphs defending your thesis using examples and evidence, and a concluding paragraph that restates and summarizes your major points.

Proofread your paragraph carefully, making sure you have followed the standard rules for grammar, spelling, punctuation and capitalization.
