“I believe no one can read the history of our country without realizing that the Good Book and the Spirit of the Savior have from the beginning been our guiding geniuses. … Whether we look to the first Charter of Virginia… or to the Charter of New England… or the Charter of Massachusetts Bay… or to the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut… the same objective is present: a Christian land governed by Christian principles.”
– Chief Justice Earl Warren, February 1954
