#OliverEllsworth: Some very worthy persons... have objected against that clause in the #constitution which provides, that no #religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the US. They have been afraid that this clause is unfavorable to religion. But my countrymen, the sole purpose & effect of it is to exclude persecution & to secure the important right of religious liberty. -Speech at the Connecticut Ratifying Convention, 1788.

New to my collection a choice #OliverEllsworth signature from a 1787 document, I believe the same year he assisted in framing the U.S. Constitution.

While we deal with recent news let us look back at the man who created the judiciary arm and was a delegate to the Constitutional Delegation. He maybe my ancestor. I intend to research and write about how he formed the #SupremeCourt #OliverEllsworth #Connecticut #Genealogy
