Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

And though we well know that this Assembly elected by the people for the ordinary purposes of Legislation
only, have no power to restrain the acts of succeeding Assemblies constituted with powers equal to our own,
and that therefore to declare this act irrevocable would be of no effect in law; yet we are free to declare, and
do declare that the rights hereby asserted, are of the natural rights of mankind, and that if any act shall be
hereafter passed to repeal the present or to narrow its operation, such act will be an infringement of natural
right.

Answer with Explanation:

Jefferson's statute (Virginia's Statute for Religious Freedom) was passed in 1876. This, clearly, depicted the separation of the church from the government. In the end of his statute, he mentioned about the "revocability" of laws. According to him "religious freedom" is a man's natural right, thus if the act will be infringed or broken in the future by some laws, then it will be a breach to human's religious freedom. In the statue, he emphasized that every person has the right to be protected from expressing his preferred religion, thus he shouldn't be harassed or harmed because of this. This means that the government cannot pass any other law that will prohibit the citizen's freedom of religion.

This change was deemed important because it served as a model or the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
