Why could the religion freedom clause in the first amendment not protect the practice of polygamy?
Because Polygamy didn't become an issue in America until the Advent of the Mormon Church and their exodus to Utah in around 1850. Back then a number of laws and legislation were passed because of strong religious beliefs. And lets face it, Paul the guy who shaped the entire christian religion, said marriage should occur only if the two individuals were not strong enough to remain a virgin and did not what to commit sin. So clearly Christianity has conflict with polygamy and thus America has conflict with polygamy. Actually the US shut the Mormon church down because of polygamy and in order to be a recognized as a religion again they had to cut out the polygamy. There were actually a number of circumstances in which Mormon leaders were taking advantage of the polygamy thing.
