Thank you We sneak And here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

Brought to you by the supreme court The largest food

00:09

court of them all Yeah Everyone's great In which case

00:12

to the supreme court ruled that the states must respect

00:15

the religious guarantees of the first amendment and hear the

00:19

pencil answers aren't was angled Ellie run on Okay remember

00:25

incorporation Of course we do But a quick refresher never

00:28

hurts Right Right When the framers passed the bill of

00:31

rights they intended for that list of freedoms and guarantees

00:34

to apply only to the federal government States on the

00:37

other hand could trample all over our precious rights and

00:40

liberties as much as they wanted for as long as

00:43

they wanted Understandably people started to complain after a while

00:46

which is how the supreme court got involved All right

00:48

justices state your case Did the supreme court rule that

00:51

states must respect the religious guarantees of the first amendment

00:54

in a angle Viva tali Well actually the court came

00:57

down in favor of the not so religiously free in

01:01

angle vs vitali In the case the board of regions

01:04

for the state of new york distributed a voluntary prayer

01:07

for public school students To say every day while the

01:10

prayer might have been voluntary as well as non denominational

01:13

a public institution distributing a prayer violated the establishment clause

01:18

of the first amendment meaning the national government or by

01:21

extension the state government could not approve or establish any

01:24

kind of national religion So is out Could the supreme

01:27

court have four states to respect freedom of religion in

01:30

b reynolds be us well again kind of the opposite

01:33

When mormons arrived in the utah territory in eighteen seventy

01:36

nine they claimed that local laws prevented them from practicing

01:40

polygamy which was part of their religious belief systems The

01:43

supreme court said the ban on having more than one

01:46

wife was just fine and that there was an important

01:49

distinction between the freedom of religious beliefs and the un

01:53

freedom of religious conduct that could impact the community So

01:57

beacon go too did the supreme court ruled that states

01:59

most respect religious guarantees in c wisconsin v odor Well

02:03

they sure did In wisconsin v oder the supreme court

02:06

ruled that amish parents who wanted to take their kids

02:08

out of school before they turned sixteen could not be

02:11

punished for breaking wisconsin State law But this case was

02:14

all the way back in nineteen seventy two there's a

02:17

good chance that another one on the list at the

02:19

precedent for these home schooled home boys and girls And

02:22

if you haven't seen it lately check out amish mafia

02:25

revenge kinds of good stuff going on there Fine actor

02:28

All right what about d epperson v arkansas While in

02:32

epperson v arkansas the supreme court ruled that arkansas couldn't

02:35

ban the teaching of evolution in public schools since that

02:39

amounted to the state's establishment There is that tricky claws

02:42

again of fundamental christianity as the state religion I'm not

02:47

teaching evolution and it's dead teaching creationism right So diaz

02:51

out Well that means the supreme court ruled that the

02:53

states must respect the religious guarantees of the first amendment

02:56

in cantwell v connecticut The first amendment's freedom of religion

03:00

was first incorporated meaning the bill of rights was applied

03:03

to the state in nineteen forties Cantwell v connecticut The

03:07

court ruled that a state law prohibiting door to door

03:09

proselytizing it's marketing of religion violated the free exercise clause

03:14

because cantwell a jehovah's witness had been arrested for sharing

03:19

his beliefs in a predominantly catholic neighborhood So is the

03:22

right answer Back to the supreme court Look at all 00:03:25.38 --> [endTime] the options for lunch State your case
