Sherbert v. Verner (1963): The Strict Scrutiny Standard

Two decades after Cantwell, the Supreme Court estaged a rigorous tect for evatiating Free Practices claws. In decodes 1; FLT: 0 messa3; FLT: 0 messa3; Sherbert v.

The Court, in opinion by Justice William Brennan, held that thee state 's denial of benefits burdened Sherbert' s free exercise of religion. The state could justify such a burden only by showing a present 1; British 1; FLT: 0 British 3; Copeling Governmental interesse 1.; FLT: 1 British 3; FLT: 1 British 3; And that thee law thee Buill 1; British 1; FLT: 2 British 3Aid; Leaste distritivy means 1Dependivents; FLT: 3; FLT: 3333af revation 3aid; of revint.

Under this standard, South Carolina failed. The state 's interest in preventing defraulent claws was nott copelling g enough to override Sherbert' s religious objection, andthee state could have granted a religious excludion with out undermining the unemployment system. The Sherbert tect was sooon appled in cor contexts, including unemployment compensation cases involving Sabbagh obserance and conscientiours objetioon military service.

After incorporationation, these actions became preshumtively unconstitutional.

Incorporation has been specialily important for proviting minority religious groups.

This protection has neven absolute. The courts havene long requized that religious exercise may be sub to racjonable regulation in thee interest of public health, safety, and order. The question is nots whether religious freedem can ever be limited, but rather what standard of justificationt thee goverment mudt meet whein imposes such limits.
