Preferred term
Lochner v. New York
Definition
- The Supreme Court struck down a New York law limiting the number of hours one could work in a bakery on the grounds that the law violated the freedom of contract implicit in the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The case became emblematic of the court's staunch resistance to governmental regulations of the economy from the late 1800s until the New Deal.
