Background: The Supreme Court’s June 25, 1997, ruling in City of Boerne v. Flores is historically significant because it dramatically altered the landscape of American religious liberty and redefined the constitutional balance of power between Congress and the Judiciary. By striking down the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act’s (RFRA) authority over state and local governments, the Court established the "congruence and proportionality" standard, firmly asserting that Congress has the power to enforce constitutional rights but lacks the authority to substantively redefine them. This decision effectively bifurcated religious freedom protections in the United States: while the federal government remained bound by RFRA’s strict standards, states were liberated from them, prompting more than twenty states to pass their own individual "State RFRAs" over the subsequent decades to restore those lost protections. Ultimately, the ruling became a cornerstone of modern federalism jurisprudence, reinforcing the Supreme Court as the ultimate arbiter of constitutional interpretation while permanently fracturing how religious exercise is legally protected across federal, state, and local jurisdictions.
