43. The phrase evolved from the Establishment Clause /1st Amendment
Edited on Thu Jan-21-10 04:30 PM by BeHereNow
The actual words, separation of Church and State do not appear
IN the constitution, but rulings from the supreme court use the
term in reference to the establishment cause.

Bottom line, the government legally can not express or impose
favor of one religion over another.
