	Declaration of Conscience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Declaration of Conscience was a speech made by Senator Margaret Chase Smith on June 1, 1950, the height of the McCarthy Era.
		In it, she criticised national leadership and called for the country, the United States Senate, and the Republican Party to re-examine the tactics used by the HUAC and (without naming him) Senator Joe McCarthy.
		Smith made the declaration shortly after having been removed from the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations by the new Chairman, Senator Karl Mundt, in order to make room for the newly elected Senator Richard Nixon of California.

		Williamson argued that his endorsement of the Declaration of Conscience “is constitutionally protected speech,” but “this argument is not persuasive,” the General Assembly Permanent Judicial Commission wrote in its ruling.
		The (church’s) constitution is that self-limitation which the people themselves place upon their own rights in order that they may be able to live and work together in love and unity.
		Because Williamson may exercise his freedom of conscience only within the bounds prescribed by the covenant community, presbytery could properly consider the Declaration of Conscience as one of many factors in reaching its decision.”
