Abstract

This paper analyzes the decision of the United States Supreme Court (May 2020) which upheld the restriction of freedom for religious services in the State of California including religious temples. It offers reasons to contextualizes the judgment based on Brazilian jurisprudence and offers a critical view of the constitutional basis of these decisions. As a main conclusion it states there is a convergence between the decisions taken by both Judicial Powers and that the Robert Alexy’s second law of balancing offers great analytical potential for such a problem.
