General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Cincinnati Street Railway Company v. Snell No. 124 Argued January 14, 1904 Decided February 23, 1904 193 U.S. 30
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF OHIO
Syllabus
The Fourteenth Amendment safeguards fundamental rights, and not the mere form which a state may see proper to designate for their enforcement and protection, and where such rights are equally protected and preserved, they cannot be said to be denied because of the forum in which the state deems it best to provide for a trial.
The mere direction of a state law that the venue of a cause under given circumstances shall be transferred does not violate the equal protection of the laws where the laws are equally administered in both forums.
Section 5030, Revised Statutes of Ohio, providing for a change of venue under certain conditions, where a corporation having more than fifty stockholders is a party, is not repugnant to the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
