About
Oklahoma's 2010 state constitutional amendment (Save Our State Amendment) aimed at prohibiting state courts from considering or applying Sharia law (Islamic law) or international law in judicial decisions. The measure was approved by voters but faced legal challenges and was partially struck down by federal courts for violating the First Amendment.
