I'm with the school of thought that sees Ave Verum Corpus as Byrd's crowning achievement as well.
<p>
William Byrd was about as <a href="/title/radical">radical</a> as a <a href="/title/Catholic">Catholic</a> could get. The <a href="/title/Anglican">Anglican</a> church was the order of his day, with Catholicism outlawed and the <a href="/title/Church+of+England">Church of England</a> mandatory. Byrd remained a devout Catholic in spite of government litigation, but he somehow got away with it thanks to his many powerful <a href="/title/patron">patron</a>s, particularly Queen <a href="/title/Elizabeth+I">Elizabeth I</a> herself.
<p>
Elizabeth gave Byrd uncompromising support, and despite fines as high as 500 <a href="/title/mark">mark</a>s and a year in prison, he only racked up 10 <a href="/title/shilling">shilling</a>s in fines for his blatant defiance of the state church.
<p>
Ave Verum Corpus was composed in his later years, when his established presence as a musical heavyweight was unquestioned. He produced hundreds of pieces then, for a variety of musical media.

The precedents for this case were mixed: the "<a href="/title/Slaughterhouse+Cases">Slaughterhouse Cases</a>" of 1873 had ruled that a state has the power to police businesses, particularly on behalf of the health and well-being of its residents; however, recent writings favoring <a href="/title/Lassiez-Faire+Constitutionalism">Lassiez-Faire Constitutionalism</a> particularly by judges <a href="/title/Thomas+Cooley">Thomas Cooley</a> and <a href="/title/Christopher+Tiedeman">Christopher Tiedeman</a> were reinterpreting the <a href="/title/14th+Amendment">14th Amendment</a> to provide much less power to state police power in business.
<p>
The <a href="/title/abridged">abridged</a> ruling favored the state of Utah's power to police business practices. The most fascinating point, in my opinion, is highlighted in <b>bold</b>:

But I have yet to hear a proper application of this one.

One of these days, I'm going to call up a girl and say, "hello, is X here?" The family member taking the call, recognizing my voice, will then say <i>Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!</i>
