Answer 1

The answer is C: It violated separation of powers and intruded on states' rights

Answer 2

Correct answer choice is :

C) It violated separation of powers and intruded on states’ rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1997, in the City of Boerne v. Flores conclusion, the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) did not implement to the states. Since 1993, 21 states have passed state RFRAs. These laws are designed to mimic the federal RFRA but are not fundamentally equal to the federal law.
