Re: I can't even imagine the disaster said by nklb:While I don't know about the bill of rights, I do know that australia DOES have a first amendment. It deals with the term length of senators. Although I am not from Missouri, and only spent a couple of days there in 1972 en route from Ft. Myer, Virginia, to San José, California, I will ask anyway: "Show me!" | |

New Orleans, LA | Right to freedom of religion – Section 116 creates a limited right to freedom of religion, by prohibiting the Commonwealth (but not the states) from "making any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion."
This section is based on the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, but is weaker in operation. As the states retain all powers they had as colonies before federation, except for those explicitly given to the Commonwealth, this section does not affect the states' powers to legislate on religion, and, in accordance with High Court interpretations, no Federal legislation on religion, short of establishing an official religion of Australia, would be limited by it either.

| Granted, a foreign law may be based on some U.S. law; but it isn't U.S. law.
In any case, First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has what-all to do with the terms served by Senators? I was asking the guy who posted the claim, not you.
