coke was particularly influential in the united states both before and after the american war of independence. during the legal and public campaigns against the writs of assistance and stamp act 1765, "bonham's case" was given as a justification for nullifying the legislation, and in the income tax case of 1895, joseph hodges choate used coke's argument that a tax upon the income of property is a tax on the property itself to have the supreme court of the united states declare the wilson–gorman tariff act unconstitutional. this decision ultimately led to the passage of the sixteenth amendment. the castle doctrine originates from coke's statement in the "third institutes" that "a man's home is his castle – for where shall he be safe if it not be in his house?", which also profoundly influenced the fourth amendment to the united states constitution; the third amendment, on the other hand, was influenced by the petition of right. coke was also a strong influence on and mentor of roger williams, an english theologian who founded the rhode island colony in north america and was an early proponent of the doctrine of separation of church and state.
