The Flushing Remonstrance

description:

The Flushing Remonstrance was the letter the people of Flushing sent to Governor Stuyvesent asking that he leave the Quakers alone. As far as they were concerned if the Quakers didn't bother anyone they could not in good conscience persecute them. It influenced the First Amendment and presages the unique New York attitude about religion.
