- 01:13
a public institution distributing a prayer violated the establishment clause
- 01:18
of the first amendment meaning the national government or by
- 01:21
extension the state government could not approve or establish any

- 01:40
polygamy which was part of their religious belief systems The
- 01:43
supreme court said the ban on having more than one
- 01:46
wife was just fine and that there was an important
- 01:49
distinction between the freedom of religious beliefs and the un
