Overview

This historical legal document presents the argument delivered by Hon. Richard Z. Johnson before the Supreme Court of the Idaho Territory on February 10, 1888, concerning the ""Idaho Test Oath."" Featured are the cases of William Heyward, Appellant, vs. Henry Bolton, et al., Respondents, and James B. Innis, Appellant, vs. the Same. The ""Idaho Test Oath"" was a controversial measure enacted to disenfranchise members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Johnson's argument likely addresses the constitutionality and implications of this oath, providing valuable insight into the legal and political climate of the Idaho Territory during a period of significant social and religious tension.
