A woman was fired by her employer for refusing to work on Saturdays because of her religious beliefs. She was denied unemployment benefits because the state concluded she had insufficient reasons for her refusal. Although the lower courts rejected her claim, the U.S. Supreme Court determined her constitutional rights had been violated.  
Which constitutional principle was applied by the U.S. Supreme Court in this case?
