Why did the Supreme Court rule against Archbishop Flores?

The case was City of Boerne v. Flores. The Supreme Court ruled that Congress had exceeded its constitutional authority when it passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), so the law could not be applied to state and local governments in this way. The Court did not find that Flores had violated RFRA or that Boerne had violated his religious rights. The correct choice is “The RFRA violated the Constitution.”
