The Constitution of the State of Delaware (until 1792), stated:
"Article XXII Every person who shall
be chosen a member of either house, or appointed to any office or place of
trust... shall... make and subscribe
the following declaration, to wit: "I ______ do profess faith in God the Father,
and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, blessed for
evermore; I do acknowledge the holy scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to
be given by divine inspiration." ¹
Delaware's Constitution also stated:
"[It is] the duty of all men frequently to assemble together for the public worship of the Author of the Universe.... [although] no man ought to be compelled to attend any religious worship. ²
