This shift has prompted extensive discussions on the original intent of the amendment and the evolving societal context in which it is applied.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
