If a state did repeal their freedom of religion clause, would they then be violating their conditions of statehood?
Do conditions of statehood apply to the original states?
I dont think so.
I have never researched conditions of statehood. I would be surprised if any conditions could be forced permanently upon other states that arent imposed upon the original states. Did the original states have conditions of statehood?
Your question is quite interesting.
Of course there are many issues up for interpetation, but the thing that bothers me is when todays justices make a ruling that is clearly opposed to what the writers of the Constitution wrote into it. Abortion laws for example. How could roe v wade stand, when in fact the writers intended for abortion laws to be in the hands of the states, as they did THE EXACT SAME THING WITH ABORTION LAWS in individual states as they did with "establishment of religion" laws. They clearly never intended the issue to be decided by the feds.
