The Supreme Court said Mr. Reynolds could not break the law while practicing his religion.
Reynolds v. the United States was heard by the Supreme Court in 1878 in regard the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act placed on the Utah Territory.
Reynolds argued that preventing him to marry more than one woman was a violation of his First Amendment rights to protection of religion. The Supreme Court concluded that he had the right to his belief but he could not go around the law to practice his faith. The law stated marriage was to be between two people only and therefore he could not be married to more than one woman.
He did that for his desire to abandon Rome, and to reject Catholic church's opposition to his proposed divorce from Catherine of Aragon.
