That’s all you have to say? LOL
The point being, it is still misleading in the extreme to say that Catholics generally and Carroll in particular were at that time proscribed from holding office. Carroll held an office when he signed the Declaration. Because of his efforts, and the efforts of many others, the Puritan phase was coming to a close and Maryland’s tradition of toleration was rapidly being re-awakened. Carroll went on to hold many offices in addition to the one he held as a signer of the Declaration.
