Question

Explain why the local government of Hialeah, Florida, abided by the Supreme Court decision despite the fact that residents overwhelmingly opposed the church and the Supreme Court had no power to enforce the decision.

Answer 1

Answer:

The local government of Hialeah, Florida, abided by the Supreme Court decision because it did not wish to obstruct free exercise of religion. Additionally, there is no compelling local interest that justified the prevention of the free exercise of religion.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The Santeri were illegally targeted by the Hialeah city government for their animal sacrifices, according to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has affirmed the view that the law governing each religion violates the provision of the Free First Amendment Act in the City of Hialeah, 508 U.S.A. 520 (1993). Because it did not want to restrict religious freedom, the city of Hialeah, Florida, upheld the decision of the Supreme Court. Moreover, there is no compelling local interest that excuses the ban on religious freedom.
