Through these curated anthologies of historical, political, and legal classic texts, Penguin Liberty offers everyday citizens the chance to hear the strongest defenses of these ideals, engage in constitutional interpretation, and gain new (or renewed) appreciation for the values that have long inspired the nation. Questions of liberty affect both our daily lives and our country’s values, from what we can say to whom we can marry, how society views us to how we determine our leaders. It is Americans’ great privilege that we live under a Constitution that both protects our liberty and allows us to debate what that liberty should mean.\u003cbr\u003e Series Introduction by Corey Brettschneider\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction by Corey Brettschneider\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Note on the Text\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRELIGIOUS FREEDOM\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Constitutional Basis\/Framework for Religious Freedom\u003cbr\u003e “A Plea for Religious Liberty,” by Roger Williams (1644)\u003cbr\u003e “A Letter Concerning Toleration,” by John Locke (1689)\u003cbr\u003e “Memorial and Remonstrance against Religious Assessments,” by James Madison (1785)\u003cbr\u003e The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, by Thomas Jefferson (1786)\u003cbr\u003e First Amendment from the United States Constitution (1791)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II: Church and State\u003cbr\u003e “Letter to Touro Synagogue,” by George Washington (1790)\u003cbr\u003e “Letter to the Danbury Baptists,” by Thomas Jefferson (1801)\u003cbr\u003e “Veto Message on Incorporating the Alexandria Protestant Episcopal Church,” by James Madison (1811)\u003cbr\u003e “Veto Message on Act of Relief for the Baptist Church,” by James Madison (1811)\u003cbr\u003e Lemon v.
