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.

ERROR TO THE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE STATE OF KENTUCKY
Syllabus
An antitrust criminal law may not necessarily be unconstitutional merely because it throws upon men the risk of rightly estimating what is an undue restraint of trade, but to compel a man to guess what the fair market value of commodities manufactured or sold by him would be under other than existing conditions is beyond constitutional limits.
The antitrust provision of the Constitution of 1891 and of the Acts of 1900 and 1906 of Kentucky, as construed by the highest court of that state, are unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment as offering no standard of conduct that it is possible to know in advance and comply with. 147 Ky. 564; id., 795; 148 Ky. 572, reversed.
The facts, which involve the constitutionality of antitrust provisions of the constitution and laws of Kentucky, are stated in the opinion.
