Between Chisholm v. Georgia and Edwards v. Aguillard , which seminal Supreme Court case in US history found that the first amendment law was specifically intended to advance a particular religion when it was written?
Chisholm v. Georgia Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U.S. 419 (1793) , is considered the first United States Supreme Court case of significance and impact. Given its date, there was little available legal precedent (particularly in American law). It was superseded in 1795 by the Eleventh Amendment.
Lovell v. City of Griffin Lovell v. City of Griffin, 303 U.S. 444 (1938), is a United States Supreme Court case. This case was remarkable in its discussion of the requirement of persons to seek government sanction to distribute religious material. In this particular case, the Supreme Court ruled it was not constitutional for a city to require such sanction.
