First Sentence

WHEN THE FIRST religion case came before the Court in 1815, the justices referred to the Founding Fathers not for constitutional guidance but merely on a legal point, finding that a postrevolutionary Virginia statute had revoked all colonial land grants made to the Anglican Church and placed them under the state, which had then properly and legally sold some of the land to particular congregations.
