The Law

Not only is having multiple spouses illegal, but merely trying to persuade someone that polygamy is a good idea is a criminal act. This late 19th-century law was enacted to firmly reject the marital practices of certain religious groups moving westward. Writing a persuasive essay on the topic could technically land you in legal hot water.
