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.

Seaboard Air Line Ry. v. North Carolina No. 18 Submitted November 7, 1917 Decided December 10, 1917 245 U.S. 298
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
Syllabus
The power of a state under the Webb-Kenyon Law to forbid shipment into its territory of intoxicating liquor from other states includes the lesser power to prescribe by law the conditions under which such shipments may be allowed.
The Webb-Kenyon Law having subjected interstate shipments of intoxicating liquor to state legislation, a state law requiring carriers to keep records of such shipments, open for the inspection of any officer or citizen, is valid notwithstanding the prohibition of § 15 of the Act to Regulate Commerce, as amended June 18, 1910, against the divulging of information by interstate carriers.
Section 5, North Carolina Public Laws, 1913, c. 44, p. 76, sustained. 169 N.Car. 295 affirmed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
