RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

300th Anniversary of the Flushing Remonstrance

The Flushing Remonstrance was a 1657 petition to Director-General of New Netherland, Peter Stuyvesant, in which some thirty residents of the small settlement at Flushing requested an exemption to his ban on Quaker worship. It is considered a precursor to the United States Constitution's provision on freedom of religion in the Bill of Rights.
