Answer 1

In Wisconsin v. Yoder, Wisconsin violated the Free Exercise Clause by making a law forcing children to go to public schools instead of allowing them to receive a private education in accordance with their religious beliefs. The case centered around the Amish community's belief that formal education beyond the eighth grade was contrary to their religious principles, and the Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the Yoders, affirming their right to educate their children according to their religious practices.
