CLEP US History I

Category - Politics

Which of the following groups was specifically banned from voting or holding office in many states, even after the American Revolution?
  1. Catholics
  2. Jews
  3. Puritans
  4. Protestants
  5. Lutherans
Explanation
Answer: B - Many states banned non-Christians from voting or holding office, so American Jews did not have these rights. In spite of the separation of church and state mandated by the Constitution, several religious groups had to fight for their rights. Whether or not Catholics would be able to fully participate in democratic processes was debated throughout the revolutionary era, though they ultimately received full rights.
