Reynolds v. us - Reynolds practiced bigamy, having two wives at once, which was illegal. he claimed that it was part of his religious practices to do this, but the court ruled that the government reserves the right to limit the PRACTICES of a religious follower, while it holds no efforts to limit his BELIEFS. this is because overturning this decision would have placed religion on a higher seat of authority than the federal government, rendering the government powerless.
