The Supreme Court ruled that an individual's religious beliefs do not excuse him from compliance with an otherwise valid law prohibiting conduct that government is free to regulate, like payment of taxes or vaccination requirements. Which statement describes a step Congress could take to limit the impact of this ruling?a. Increase the number of federal judicial districts
b. Nominate justices from the majority's party
c. Modify existing legislation to allow exceptions
d. Refuse to enforce the Supreme Court's decision

c. Modify existing legislation to allow exceptions                  

Explanation:

Congress is responsible for law making, the court interprets the law while the executive enforces the law. Congress can limit the impact of a court ruling by modifying existing laws regarding that issue and include exceptions.

Foe example, if the court rules that an individual must come to work on Saturday despite that day being the day for his/her religious meet as in the case of the Seventh-Day Adventist, the congress can review the laws on that issue and modify it to include exceptions.
