Ridley vs. Latimer

Ridley v. Latimer was a legal case involving the rights of religious communities to operate without government interference. It addressed whether a religious group's practices could be limited to ensure public safety and order. The case highlighted the balance between respecting religious freedom and enforcing laws that protect the broader society. The court's decision clarified that while religious practices are protected, they cannot exempt organizations from complying with general laws, especially when public interests are at stake. This case set important limits on religious liberties within the framework of lawful regulation.
