The correct answer is: "Wisconsin made a law establishing limits on Amish practices outside of the community."
In Wisconsin v. Yoder, the Supreme Court ruled that Wisconsin's compulsory school attendance law violated the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment by interfering with the Amish parents' right to freely exercise their religion. The law required children to attend school until the age of 16, which conflicted with the Amish belief that education beyond the eighth grade was unnecessary and potentially harmful to their way of life. The Court held that the state's interest in education did not outweigh the parents' right to freely exercise their religion.
