They did not want a Federal Government religion.........the states
were
allowed to do as they choose.


No, the states could not do as they please. The states were also bound
by
the US constitution. And it is a good thing.

Nope.......the original intent of the US Constitution was to limit
federal
powers to those proscribed in the Constitution, as well as defining a few
certain rights......everything else was left to the states........it has
only been through 200 years of perversion that the country has become
federalized and thus corrupted.

Why is it perversion for a government of the people to evolve?



The government can change, but do it according to the rules. Amend the
Constitution, not shop for a judge that will rule in your favor of the rule
change. The Fed's have perverted the states rights issues, but taxing the
people of the states and then sending back their own money with strings
attached. There was not a department of Education until about 1960. Now it
is a huge bureaucracy. Stating what had to be taught in the school. Maybe
why we have such poor results from our education system.
