Freedom of Sunday Observance

"The enforced observance of a day held sacred by one of the sects is a discrimination in favor of that sect, and a violation of the freedom of the others. . . . Considered as a municipal regulation, the legislature has no right to forbid or enjoin the lawful pursuit of a lawful occupation on one day of the week, any more than it can forbid it altogether."—Chief Justice Terry, of the Supreme Court of California.
