Dissenters and Toleration Debate in 18th Century Parliament
Mr Fox argues for repeal of the Sacramental Test and Test and Corporation Acts to extend civil rights to Protestant Dissenters, condemning persecution and church interference. He cites 1715 loyalist acts, Ireland and Scotland contrasts, and warns against Church in danger rhetoric while defending toleration and limiting establishment politics.
