- Title
REYNOLDS REVISITED: THE ORIGINAL MEANING OF REYNOLDS V. UNITED STATES AND FREE EXERCISE AFTER FULTON.
- Authors
Lombardi, Clark B.
- Abstract
The article focuses on reevaluating the Supreme Court's free exercise jurisprudence, beginning with its 1879 decision in Reynolds v. United States up to recent developments. It argues that the Court's interpretation of Reynolds as protecting only religious belief, not action, has been incorrectly embraced since the 1960s, leading to pivotal decisions like Employment Division v. Smith in 1990. The article proposes restoring Reynolds' original understanding, which recognized protections.
