Sunday Law of Charles the Second
- Sunday Law of Charles the Second
-
The statute, 29 Car. II, c. 7, sec. 1, which provided that "no person whatsoever shall do or exercise any worldly labor, business, or work of their ordinary calling, on the Lord's Day."
This is not the prohibition of all worldly business or work, but only of one's "ordinary calling" so that one having no ordinary calling cannot come under the statute. In the United States, Sunday laws generally omit this limitation. Lovejoy v Whipple, 18 Vt 379.
