==s==
Whatever has been put for the long s prints as a question mark. Should one just put a regular "s" instead?
---- 
Why is this here?  shouldn't there be context somewhere? [[user:JHK|JHK]]

----

I think the context is supposed to be that this Act only tolerated Christian churches, and made it illegal and punishable by death not to worship Jesus. I added something about that in the article.

The founder of Maryland was Catholic and used Maryland as a haven for Catholics who were experiencing persecution in England. To keep Maryland safe for the Catholic Church the Toleration Act was written. Establishing, in a sense, a state religion.

:This is like saying that the Declaration of Independence was meaningless because there was still slavery. It was an extremely important document even though much improvement was needed in the Colonies and early United States in order to fully realize its ideas. To dismiss it's importance is to reject any progress unless absolute perfection is instantly realized.[[Special:Contributions/2602:306:BDA0:97A0:466D:57FF:FE90:AC45|2602:306:BDA0:97A0:466D:57FF:FE90:AC45]] ([[User talk:2602:306:BDA0:97A0:466D:57FF:FE90:AC45|talk]]) 06:25, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

== Citation ==

Shouldn't this article have inline citations, instead of notes and a bibliography?[[User:Mario777Zelda|Mario777Zelda]] ([[User talk:Mario777Zelda|talk]]) 01:30, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

==Assessment comment==
{{Substituted comment|length=298|lastedit=20080504162802|comment=The article had good information but i think it could have elaborated more on the act. Other than that it provide a great reference to other acts related to the Maryland act of toleration.
