Polygamy is the act of having two or more spouses at one time. What legally counts as polygamy varies by state and by country. In some places, it simply means that you cannot be legally married to more than one person at a time. In other places, living a 'marriage-like' relationship (such as cohabiting or having sexual relationships) with two or more people, whether or not you are technically married, can get you legally convicted of polygamy.

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.
