A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode we explore the 1797 Senate ratification of the Treaty of Tripoli and its controversial Article 11, which states that "the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."

We trace the context: American sailors captured and enslaved by Barbary pirates, years of failed government response, and Joel Barlow’s negotiations that produced the treaty. The episode explains why the clause reflected an intentional, public statement about the secular nature of the U.S. government and how later debates and mistranslations have tried to obscure it.
