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
