after joseph smith was killed by a mob on 27 june 1844, the main body of latter day saints left nauvoo and followed brigham young to utah where the practice of plural marriage continued. in 1852, brigham young, the second president of the lds church, publicly acknowledged the practice of plural marriage through a sermon he gave. additional sermons by top mormon leaders on the virtues of polygamy followed. controversy followed when polygamy became a social cause, writers began to publish works condemning polygamy. the key plank of the republican party's 1856 platform was "to prohibit in the territories those twin relics of barbarism, polygamy and slavery". in 1862, congress issued the morrill anti-bigamy act which clarified that the practice of polygamy was illegal in all us territories. the lds church believed that their religiously based practice of plural marriage was protected by the united states constitution, however, the unanimous 1878 supreme court decision "reynolds v. united states" declared that polygamy was not protected by the constitution, based on the longstanding legal principle that "laws are made for the government of actions, and while they cannot interfere with mere religious belief and opinions, they may with practices."
