Chief Justice Waite And The "Twin Relic": Reynolds V. United States, C. Peter Magrath

Vanderbilt Law Review

United States, the United States Supreme Court held that a general law prohibiting polygamy did not abridge the religious freedom of members of the Mormon faith guaranteed by the first amendment.
