At the time of the witch trials, the government of Massachusetts was a theocracy, that is a government with a legal system based upon the canons of a "state" religion. Although our constitution forbids our government to recognize any state religion, from time to time certain practices, such as displaying holiday nativity scenes on government or public property are questioned as to their constitutionality.
