South Carolina’s Supreme Court has upheld a law that protects Confederate monuments and other statues
South Carolina’s Supreme Court upheld a law that protects Confederate monuments and other statues, but said the need for a supermajority vote on any changes was an “unconstitutional overreach.”
Passed in 2000, the Heritage Act required a two-thirds vote in the state’s General Assembly for any change or removal of a monument, statue, school or street, or its renaming. It applied specifically to American wars spanning the Revolutionary War to the Persian Gulf War, and to Native American and African-American monuments or memorials.
