quote from another site quotation starts The Maryland Toleration Act was a law passed in 1649 by the colonial assembly of the Province of Maryland mandating religious toleration of all Christian denominations. As the first such law, it is often seen as a precursor to the First Amendment While the Act did prevent outright persecution for a long time, it failed to prevent a political struggle over the control of the colonial assembly. quotation ends Text of the Act http://www.nv.cc.va.us/home/nvsageh/Hist121/Part1/MdRelTol.h tm
