A claim was made that the law violated the constitutional prohibition on ''[[ex post facto]]'' laws; that is, polygamists were charged for polygamist marriages solemnized before the passage of the statute. A challenge to the statute was framed on these and other grounds. The Supreme Court ruled, in ''Murphy v.

The Edmunds Act restrictions were enforced regardless of whether an individual was actually practicing polygamy, or merely stated a belief in the doctrine of [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (LDS Church) on [[plural marriage]] without actually participating. It also provided for a five-man Utah Commission appointed by the president to supervise all aspects of the electoral process in [[Utah Territory]].<ref name=Uhtg/> All elected offices throughout the territory were vacated; the election board issued certificates to candidates who both denied a belief in polygamy and did not practice it; and new elections were held. |

Enforcement of the acts started in July 1887. The issue went to the [[Supreme Court of the United States|U.S. Supreme Court]] in the case ''[[Late Corp. of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints v. United States]]'', which upheld the [[Edmunds–Tucker Act]] on May 19, 1890. Among other things, the act disincorporated the LDS Church. Within five months, the LDS Church officially discontinued the practice of plural marriage with the [[1890 Manifesto]]. On October 25, 1893, a congressional resolution authorized the release of assets seized from the LDS Church because, "said the church has discontinued the practice of polygamy and no longer encourages or gives countenance to any manner of practices in violation of law, or contrary to good morals or public policy."<ref>Jt.
