HAMILTON v. BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 292 U.S. 245 (1934)
This case raised the problem of conscientious objection to military service in a state context. California required that male freshman and sophomore state university students enroll in a course of military science. Hamilton, a religious objector, argued that this requirement violated the liberty guaranteed him by the fourteenth amendment. Justice pierce butler spoke for a unanimous Supreme Court, and concluded that nothing in the Constitution relieved a conscientious objector from the obligation to bear arms.
