The Religion Clauses Free Exercise Establishment - Constitutional Law

Permissible Accommodation

Legislature may accommodate religion if it wishes, but it doesn’t have to under the constitution

But ct upheld the SS Tax noting that “the State may justify a limitation on religious liberty by showing that it is essential to accomplish an overriding gov. interest

Tax system couldn’t function if denominations allowed challenge it cause tax payments were spent in manner that violates religious beliefs

Gov doesn’t have to itself behave in ways that the individual believes will further their spiritual development

If Yes, get SS

If no, then get deference
