Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book features the author's transcribed address, given in 1790, to Parliament, in which they argue the case for the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. The author contends that Dissenters pose no threat to the stability or religious makeup of England, and that granting them full civil and religious rights would strengthen the nation and represent a correction of a historical wrong. The author provides a detailed historical account of the evolution of these acts from their inception during the reign of Charles II to the present day, situating this debate within the broader context of religious toleration in England. The author argues for a move away from bigotry and towards a more enlightened and progressive society, in which all citizens are treated equally under the law regardless of their religious affiliation. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of religious toleration in England, and for those interested in the broader themes of civil rights, social justice, and the evolution of religious freedom.
