## Resource

A Christian photographer in Kentucky was awarded $800,000 (in a case that lasted six years) because of unconstitutional demands placed on her by the city of Louisville. Let's go through the specifics of the ordinance they had on the books, what it would have required her to do, and the legal precedents that forced it to be overturned.
