Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission

Question 9. Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act prevents discrimination by business entities on the basis of sexual orientation. 1st Amendment Freedom of Religion-free exercise clause-prevents the government from interfering in individuals' freely practicing their faith. 1st Amendment protects all forms of speech or expression-including artistic expression. Baking a cake may be considered a form of artistic expression/speech. Government cannot compel any form of speech.

Phillips appealed the decision to the U.S Supreme Court alleging that the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act violates his First Amendment Right to Freedom of Religion and Free Speech
