Abstract
There is an ignorance of American history amongst Congress members, and this is demonstrated in a recent case where words attributed to the father of the Constitution James Madison were used. However there is no evidence that Madison spoke such words, or anything similar to them. The case involved an Alabama judge who was ordered to remove a plaque of the Ten Commandments from his courtroom, and the Congressional defense praising the judge.

Abstract
Religious Right groups are stepping up pressure on the GOP congressional leadership, which is soon nearing the end of the 'Contract with America,' to focus on the religious agenda of the conservatives. The Republican majority in the Congress, which received the support of conservative groups during election, is now expected to repay its debt by fulfilling their religious proposals. The Religious Right groups are demanding a highly-founded private school voucher scheme and a constitutional amendment for religious worship in public schools.
