Flushing Remonstrance

The predecessor to the US Constitution's Freedom of Religion in the Bill of Rights, the Flushing Remonstrance was signed on December 27, 1657 in what is now Flushing, New York by a group of Quakers. This was done in demonstration to the policy of Gov. Peter Stuyvesant, who banned all other religions outside of the Dutch Reformed Church from being practised in the colony of New Netherland.
