Unitarian Toleration Debate In House Of Commons
In a May Friday sitting, MPs debated imprisonment for debt, Russia Porte treaty notes, and a Unitarian petition. Mr. Fox urged repeal of penal laws against Unitarians and Protestants, arguing toleration must extend beyond mere non persecution, citing historical persecutions and the principles of religious liberty. He urged abolition of search penalties, reform of marriage law, and broader liberty consistent with a tolerant state.
